About the Faculty
Overview
Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical science with chemistry and it is charged with the discovery, production, disposal, safe and effective use, 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. At the same time, it requires knowledge of treatment and understanding of the pathological process.
Pharmacy is an interdisciplinary profession that combines knowledge from various scientific domains, including chemistry, biology, and medicine. Pharmacists play a crucial role in ensuring that medications are used safely and effectively, working closely with healthcare providers to optimize patient care.
Pharmacy not only involves understanding how drugs work in the body but also the broader context, such as patient-specific factors like age, weight, comorbidities, and genetic makeup. This helps pharmacists make informed decisions about dosing, drug selection, and potential drug interactions.
