Pharmacy

The pharmacy is the Science being interested in the design, with the mode of action, the preparation and the distribution of the Médicament S. It also takes account of the medicamentous interactions possible between the chemical Molécule S or even, the interactions with edible products. For example, the juice of Pamplemousse has many interactions with drugs. Not to deteriorate the correct use of the drug, the pharmacist must deal with advising his customer with regard to his health in general, but more particularly for his drugs.

The term pharmacy also indicates a dispensary, that is to say a place intended for the storage and the Distribution of Médicament. This place is under the responsibility of a Pharmacien which can there manufacture masterly Préparations ordered by a Médecin for a given patient and supervise the work of the pharmacists. The pharmacist can also make the follow-up of the medication of the patient, but as it is not formed to make a diagnosis, the doctor must make sure that its recommendations respect the diagnosis posed. This is why it is the only one with being able to prescribe.

In France, one distinguishes: masterly preparation (realized extemporanément for a given patient), officinal preparation (realized according to the formula registered with the pharmacopeia or the national form) and hospital preparation (realized in hospital pharmacy after declaration of the formula to the afssaps). It is about a mass production, intended to compensate for the absence of existing proprietary medical products. For example, there does not exist diphenamil methylsulfate marketed in France by the pharmaceutical laboratories. This product is however essential in the prevention of the Sudden death of the Nourrisson. The pharmacy of the hospitals of Paris (AGEPS) compensates for this deficiency and manufactures a hospital preparation of diphenamil methylsulfate in tablets.

History of pharmacy

One started to give remedies containing spices to look after the patients. These people, called apothecaries (of the Greek αποθηκη “store”) and are the predecessors of the pharmacists of today. The development of pharmacy was carried out especially after the Moyen-âge, hollow period in what milked with the scientific development. epidemic S, one discovered the vaccines by inhaling dried pus or by injecting pus of infected people. This method was sometimes mortal, but when one survived, one was immunized. The vaccines which we know appeared only at the 20th century, where besides all our arsenal rises from modern drugs. -->Au beginning of the 20th century, it had there only one dozen Molécule S chemical with a hundred natural products whereas at the beginning of the 21e century, we have several hundreds of chemical molecules and that very few current remedies of exclusively natural source.
