Pharmacy is the study of drugs and involves learning about drug structures, synthesizing drugs, and processing drugs for safe consumption. The scope of pharmacy practice has expanded beyond traditional dispensing and includes clinical services, reviewing drug safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists work in various settings like hospitals and clinics. They are expected to play a more integral role in healthcare by utilizing their patient care skills beyond just dispensing medication. Pharmacy technicians support pharmacists by performing tasks like dispensing prescription drugs and instructing patients on proper use. The study of pharmacy incorporates areas like pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology. It typically requires a four-year degree from an institution with a pharmacy program

Arranged by : 1. Any Wulansari (200602) 2. Fenni Amaliah Romadhon (200604) 3. Fitria Nur Azizah (200605) 4. FY Agung Herrianto (200606) What is the pharmacy?
pharmacy is a study program that studies
drugs here we will learn to recognize the structure of drug compounds and how to synthesize them and then process them into drugs that are suitable for consumption, of course here we will learn to mix, mix, formulate, identify, combine, analyze and create drugs that meet quality standards and feasibility is not only concocting we also have to know how to use these drugs safely. Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical science with chemistry and control of medications and drugs.The practice of pharmacy requires excellent knowledge of drugs, their mechanism of action, side effects, interactions, mobility and toxicity. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing of medications, and it also includes more modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists practice in a variety of areas including community pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, extended care facilities, psychiatric hospitals, and regulatory agencies. In the coming decades, pharmacists are expected to become more integral within the health care system. Rather than simply dispensing medication, pharmacists are increasingly expected to be compensated for their patient care skills. The example of pharmacist staff is Pharmacy technicians, they are support the work of pharmacists and other health professionals by performing a variety of pharmacy-related functions, including dispensing prescription drugs and other medical devices to patients and instructing on their use. The pharmaceutical sciences are subdivided into several specific specialties, with four main branches: a.) Pharmacology: the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs on human beings. b.) Pharmacodynamics: the study of the cellular and molecular interactions of drugs with their receptors. c.) Pharmacokinetics: the study of the factors that control the concentration of drug at various sites in the body. d.)Pharmaceutical toxicology: the study of the harmful or toxic effects of drugs. Since pharmacists know about the mode of action of a particular drug, and its metabolism and physiological effects on the human body in great detail, they play an important role in optimization of drug treatment for an individual. In order to become a pharmacist, a person needs to study and take a degree from an institution that provide pharmacy course. It takes about 4 years to finish and some additional coursework like apothecary profession Duties of PharmacistsPharmacists typically do the following:Fill prescriptions, verifying instructions from physicians on the proper amounts of medication to give to patients.Check whether prescriptions will interact negatively with other drugs that a patient is taking or any medical conditions the patient hasInstruct patients on how and when to take a prescribed medicine and inform them about potential side effects from taking the medicine.Keep records and do other administrative tasksTeach other healthcare practitioners about proper medication therapies for patients The field of pharmacy can generally be divided into four primary disciplines: 1. Pharmaceutics 2. Medicinal Chemistry 3. Pharmacognosy4. 4. Pharmacy Practice The boundaries between these disciplines and with other sciences, such as biochemistry, are not always clear- cut.However, pharmacy is not a basic or biomedical science in its typical form. Medicinal chemistry is also a distinct branch of synthetic chemistry combining pharmacology, organic chemistry, and chemical biology. THANK YOU...
