This systematic review investigates the profound influence of media on public perceptions and knowledge concerning pharmacy practices. As the media landscape continually evolves, its impact on shaping attitudes towards healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and the role of pharmacies has become increasingly significant. The primary objective of this study is to critically analyze existing literature to discern patterns, trends, and gaps in understanding how media exposure affects public perspectives on pharmacy services.
