Hello friends, A pharmacist is the health professional who focuses on the patient’s drug therapy.While a physician prescribes drugs and a nurse administers them, the pharmacist is THE drug expert. Pharmacists’expertise lies in how medications should be used, how to maximize benefits and minimize adverse effects of drug therapy, and how prescription drugs interact with other medications. The pharmacist’s primary role is to ensure that the medications used by a patient are the most effective and are used in the most appropriate manner. They can recommend an over-the-counter (OTC) product for pain relief, demonstrate the proper use of an asthma inhaler, and help patients manage their diabetes. Clients can also talk to their pharmacist about how to store and take medication, what foods or activities to avoid, and what to do if a dose is missed. Here is a the book on community pharmacy. Please enjoy reading it.
