Pharmacy (from the
Greek φάρμακον = drug) is the
health profession that links the
health sciences with the
chemical sciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe use of
medication. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications on the orders of physicians, and it also includes more modern services related to
patient care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information.
Pharmacists, therefore, are experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize medication use to provide patients with positive health outcomes.
