Orientation of pharmacy
1.
2. Pharmacy (from the Greek word ‘Pharmakon’ = drug) is the
health profession that links the health sciences with the
chemical sciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe
and effective use of drugs.
Pharmacy is the art & science of preparing & dispensing
medications & the provision of drug-related information to
the public
3. The scope of pharmacy practice includes services related to health
care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety
and efficacy, and providing drug information.
Pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy and are the
primary health professionals who optimize medication use to
provide patients with positive health outcomes
The continuing and expanding need for Pharmacists can be
demonstrated by the society’s changing and ever increasing
requirements, growing variety and demand for drugs and emphasis
on research to find new, safe and effective remedies.
4. The World Health Organization’s has laid down a
pharmacist / population ratio of 1:2000 for optimal
healthcare delivery.
In Pakistan this ratio is even more than 1-21000.
According to an estimate, there are 8000 pharmacists
in the country, while the country needs 78,000
pharmacists for a population of 170,000,000; a target
that is still far from being reached.
Perhaps building new Pharmacy institutes is the need
of the hour.
5. Few professions offer the variety of specialization and
opportunities that the profession of Pharmacy does.
Pharmacy offers a challenging, satisfying and rewarding
career to the individual whose interest lies in health services
to the public, business, scientific research, university
teaching and hospital practice.

10. Pharmaceutics
Drugs which are obtained from various sources are rarely administered in their pure
chemical form. Generally drugs are combined with other inert substances ( excipients
) and converted into suitable form of administration commonly termed as dosage
form.
Pharmaceutics is a branch of Pharmacy which includes the study of
formulation of drug into dosage form.
Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with all facets of the
process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE) into a medication able to be
safely and effectively used by patients in the community. Pharmaceutics is
the science of dosage form design.
There are many chemicals with known pharmacological properties but a raw
chemical is of no use to a patient. Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation
of a pure drug substance into a dosage form.

19. Pharmacy Symbols
World-wide there are many symbols, Signs and Badges
used to represent Pharmacy.
There is no standard representation of them, but the
illustrations here have been chosen to give the
simplest and clearest image available for each one.
20. 1. The one snake on a staff symbol is called
the serpent of Epidaurus on the staff of
Aesculapius, and can be seen in the bottom
left quarter of the shield on the crest of the
Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great
Britain.
Aesculapius was one of the Greek Gods of
medicine, and is usually depicted carrying a
staff with a snake coiled around it.
The snake was a symbol of wisdom,
immortality and healing in Middle and far
Eastern cultures
21. The bowl with a snake coiled around
it is called the bowl of Hygeia with
the serpent of Epidaurus, and is a
variant on the above. Hygeia was
Aesculapius’s daughter and a Greek
Goddess of health.
Her symbol was a serpent drinking
from a bowl. The vessel is usually
depicted with a long stem and a
shallow, wide bowl as seen here.
22. The symbol of two snakes on a staff is
called the Caduceus.
The staff, depicted with wings, is that
of Mercury (Roman) or Hermes
(Greek), messenger of the Gods .
The history and meaning of this
symbol is complicated. In the West it
has been adopted as a symbol of
medicine since the 19th century,
probably because of its similarity to
the serpent of Epidaurus on the staff
of Aesculapius.
It is generally considered less suitable
for pharmacy than the one snake
motif, but is more popular for use as a
general medical symbol.
23. The serpent around a palm tree symbol is
used by French and Portuguese
pharmaceutical bodies, and was introduced
in the 19th century.
The snake is associated with healing, as
discussed above, but here has a more
specific meaning.
The palm tree represents the vegetable
kingdom, the serpent the animal kingdom,
and the rocks at the palm tree’s base the
mineral kingdom.
The serpent and palm tree shown here is
the design used by the Portuguese Order of
Pharmacists.
24. 5. The Green Cross was first introduced in the
as a pharmaceutical symbol in Europe in the
early 20th century as a replacement for the
Red Cross.
The Red Cross, previously used by some
medical institutions and pharmacists, was
adopted by the International Red Cross in
1863, necessitating the need for an
alternative.
The Green Cross was not used in Britain until
1984, when it was adopted by the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain as a
standard symbol for British pharmacy.
The Society stipulated that it should be
produced in a specified shade of green, or in
black and white, and that the words
pharmacy or pharmacist, or the Society’s
name, should appear with it.
25. The mortar and pestle has long been
used as a pharmaceutical symbol in
Britain and on the European mainland,
and is still widely employed as a
pharmacy shop sign in Scotland.
The mortar and pestle are tools of
traditional pharmacy, hence their use
as an easily recognisable visual motif.
26. The carboy, a glass vessel with a globular base tapering
to a narrow neck, was commonly displayed filled with
brightly coloured liquids in pharmacy shop windows
well into the second half of this century, and has come
to be a symbol of pharmacy.
The term carboy is a corruption of the Persian word
qarabah or qarrabah, meaning “large flagon”, and the
carboy is thought to originate from the Near East,
where drug sellers used large glass vessels, filled with
coloured liquids, especially rosewater and wine, in their
stalls.
By the late 18th century they were recorded by
observers as a characteristic and attractive feature of
the chemists and druggists shop window, and have
retained a strong association with pharmacy ever since..
27. The recipe sign appears at the
start of prescriptions. Although
universally accepted as an
abbreviation of “recipe” (Latin
for ‘take thou’), it has also been
suggested that it is the
astronomical sign of the planet
Jupiter.
