"Pharmacy is the art & science of compounding and dispensing of drugs or preparing suitable dosage form for administration of drugs to the men or animals." .....
"K.D. TRIPATHY"
Introductory Principles:
The term "Pharmacy" is derived from a latin word "Pharmacia" & from a greek word " Pharmakeia" . "Pharmacy is a multidisciplinary subject containing almost all kinds of knowledge and technique's that make an area of isolating, purifying, compounding, dispensing, formulating APIs(Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) to tend them into a manufacturing zone in sense of converting that APIs to a reliable & meaningful dosage form in guidance of quality control and assurance area , for application to the patients to make them cure". Pharmacy is nothing but a bridge between drug source & final consumer (patients).
Future of Pharmacy:
Pharmaceutical science is the blessings of GOD for the future era. In recent years, drug development by design is a contemporary way of drug discovery. To know about the glimpses of the future of pharmacy we should start from the past & present. The concept of apothecary is not actually superimposed in today's pharmacy practices, where it could be a potential positive site for the sake of this field. Phytochemical investigation is the common way today to screen moieties from plant sources, which further may evaluate the pharmacological activities in prior approval of respective animal & human rights authority. After a very long journey the moiety is escaped as a results of pre-clinical & clinical trial, which then subjected to R&D for making its future to go to market. This practices usually covers our pharmaceutical sciences. During this long journey, some important tactics/practices became immersed namely
Glimpses of the future of Pharmacy
We strongly believe that, Industrial Pharmacy practice is a key of manufacturing & quality assuring of a medicine. But proper practice of Clinical & Hospital Pharmacy are needed simultaneously to address the manufactured medicine to its proper destination at proper time. In subcontinent, clinical pharmacy practice is prohibited because of some undesirable incidences, so a strict guidance & maintenance is a must to accelerate the practices. Without clinical pharmacy, the modern pharmacy future would be one in which the profession sinks during the next decade or two into a narrowly defined drug supply management role, with competitor groups such as medicine and nursing incorporating the more clinical aspects of pharmaceutical care into their roles, while less expensively qualified technicians and dispensers’ assistants supply medicines to the public.
For better competing to the other healthcare professions, hope pharmacy's future might be associated to following scenario:
Scenario 1. Clinical Pharmacy in Healthcare system
Clinical Pharmacy practiced by clinical pharmacists who helping in dispensing medication, patient counselling also. Clinical pharmacists work directly for or with family doctors, or in primary care organizations. Practice in this area has already been shown to be more flexible and varied than in traditional hospital and community roles. They means a lot to the modern healthcare system. Pharmacists has become almost entirely focused on their clinical role. The public increasingly sees pharmacists as the professionals with legitimate control over the use of medicines.
Scenario 2. Potential Traditional Practices
According to demographic demand, there are some traditional medicines available, pharmacists should take responsibilities in using them to manage the disease, that have to get back to the apothecary's. Pharmaceutical professional's are strongly welcomed to traditional pharmacy practices in future.
Scenario 3. More competitive pharma-market
In future, pharmaceutical market would be more competitive, resulting new chemical entities will run in the market very fast due to competition. More reliable product will be available in market, that is why pharmaceutical company's production wheel will accelerated to manufacture more medicines to fill market demand.
Scenario 4: Steps that may facilitate the Pharmacy Practice in future
1. Introduction of Hospital Pharmacy – The sooner the better for the betterment of public health
2. Appointment of Pharmacists in every area as Drug Super and Drug Inspector3. Emphasis should be given on Community Pharmacy practice4. Pharmacists should work as Drug Promoters
Scenario 5. Community Pharmacy and Availability of Medicines
The community (retail) pharmacy sector is the prime source of medicines for both ambulatory and hospitalized patients . The medicines manufactured by pharmaceutical companies are made available to the community pharmacy level through their distributor or clearing and forwarding agent. In many developing countries, private community pharmacies are often seen as a source of inexpensive medical care. In future hope, Pharmaceutical sciences updated & upgraded in such a way that recognized the community pharmacy to our community.
Future Perspective of Pharmacy & Pharmacists
Analytical area is a core of Pharmacy. Hope in future, this site will be more polish than today & helping in synthesizing new molecules for future sake of pharmacy. Oral insulin might be common in future which reduce complications of self medication of insulin. Combinatorial chemistry will identify new peptide that make something innovative in future. Hope Pharmacy & Pharmacist become extremely popular healthcare professional in future. In future pharmacists will obviously focus on- prevention of the diseases, promotion of healthcare, designing of safe, accurate dose of the NCE (New Chemical Entity), rational use of drug (RUD), proper collaboration to patients , physician & all other healthcare professionals for better therapeutic outcome.You hope our beloved "PHARMACY" will do a lot in upcoming future, thus our healthcare system be safe & authentic.
Pharmaceutical care will be a very effective element of healthcare system in future if pharmacy practice strengthen the community&clinical pharmacy services so that the awareness of ADRs (Adverse Drug Reactions) is being recognized. Pharmacists have the expertise in managing drugs both in warehouse & manufacturing area, they able to monitor drug-drug/drug-nutrient interactions & manage overall medication therapy which leads a patient to the level best of cure.Pharmacy is a very important profession, which deals with the manufacturing, handing, proper utilization, dispensing, and administration of life saving drugs. Thus, the role of Pharmacists will never be ended as long as drugs will exist in this world.

This site is completely open/free access site for the pharmaceutical students, scientists, professionals or any other person who are practicing pharmacy. Pharmaceutical sciences is developing day by day. Most of the pharmaceutical students don't have the opportunity to see different pharmaceutical videos, animation and other format of e-learning, where e-learning is very essential for upgrading our knowledge specially when we are belongs to such an important discipline. This site is dedicated to all of the peoples under pharmaceutical shade. We believe that a person who tried a lot in his /her life to do something, obviously he/she will have that something with a joy.
