In institutionalized settings, when must a PPI be given?

PPI stands for Patient Package Insert. For drugs that require a PPI, in institutionalized settings the insert must be given before the drug is administered and then at least every 30 days during ongoing therapy. This ensures the patient or caregiver receives up-to-date information on risks, proper use, and what to do if problems arise, even while the patient remains under care. Providing it only at admission or only after administration, or only when requested, would fail to ensure ongoing education and timely updates, which is why the before-administration plus monthly (every 30 days) interval is required.
