Pharmacist
• The profession of pharmacy exists to safeguard
the health of the public
• The pharmacist is one who is licensed to prepare
and dispense medications, counsel patients, and
monitor outcomes pursuant to a prescription from
a licensed health professional
• The role of the modern pharmacist evolved
– from compounder and dispenser
– to providing medication information and preventing
medication-related problems
Role of the Pharmacist
Today’s pharmacist:
• Compounds and dispenses drugs
• Gathers information about patients
• Counsels on possible side effects and adverse reactions
• Monitors for drug interactions
• Screens, monitors, and advises for self-treatment with
over-the-counter (OTC) products sold without a
prescription
• Provides drug information to other healthcare
professionals
• Advises on home healthcare supplies and medical
equipment
Community Pharmacy
• A Community pharmacy means any place
under the direct supervision of a pharmacist
where the practice of pharmacy occurs or
where prescription orders are compounded
and dispensed other than a hospital
pharmacy .
– an independent or chain pharmacy that
dispenses prescription medications to
outpatients
An Over view of Community Pharmacy
• Most community pharmacies are divided into
– a back prescription area offering prescription
merchandise and related items
– a front area offering over-the-counter (OTC) drugs,
toiletries, cosmetics, and greeting cards
• Community pharmacies may be
– independently owned small businesses
– part of large retail chains
– franchise operations
• The recent trend is toward fewer independent
pharmacies
Scope of Community Pharmacy.
Community Pharmacist

• Involved in patient care initiatives to prevent or
identify disease

diabetes, and other conditions
