Pharmacy is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemical

sciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe and effective use of
pharmaceutical drugs. The word device from the Greeks pharmacon, "drug
medicine". The earliest form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek Pa-a-ma-com.
The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as
compounding and dispensing medications, and it also includes more modern
services related to health 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 And
establishment in which pharmacy ( in the first sense) is practiced is called a
pharmacy, 'chemists' or (in the USA) drug store. US drug stores commonly sale
not medications, but also miscellaneous items such as candy, cosmetics and
magazines as well as light refreshments or grocers. The word pharmacy is derived
from its root word pharma which was a term used since the 15th–17th centuries.
In addition to pharma responsibilities, the pharma offered general medical advice
and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist
practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. The pharma (as it was referred to)
often operated through a retail shop which, in addition to ingredients for
medicines, sold tobacco and patent medicines. The pharmas also used many
other herbs not listed. In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the
work of the pharma may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of
chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method.
The two symbols most commonly associated with pharmacy are the mortar and
pestle and the ℞ (recipere) character, which is often written as "Rx" in typed text.
The show globe was also used in english speaking countries until the early 20th
century. Pharmacy organisations often use other symbols such as the bowl of
hygieia which is often use in The Netherlands, chemical methods and caduceus in
there logos. Other symbols are common in different countries: The Greek Cross in
France, Argentina, The UK, Belgium, Italy and Spain, in the increasingly rare
bleated in The Netherlands, and a red stylised letter A in Germany and Austria
(from apotheke, the German word for pharmacy) from the same Greek root as
the english word apothecary. The field of Pharmacy can generally be divided into
three primary disciplines:
1.Pharmaceutics,
2.Medicinal chemistry and Pharmacognosy, and
3.Pharmacy practice
The boundaries between these disciplines and with other sciences, such as
biochemistry, are not always clear-cut; and often, collaborative teams from
various disciplines research together. Pharmacology is sometimes considered a
fourth discipline of pharmacy. Although pharmacology is essential to the study of
pharmacy, it is not specific to pharmacy. Therefore it is usually considered to be a
field of the broader sciences.
Pharmacoinformatics
New discipline for systemic drug discovery and development with efficiency and
safety. Other specializations in pharmacy practice recognized by the Board of
Pharmaceutical Specialties include: cardiovascular, infectious disease, oncology,
pharmacotherapy, nuclear, nutrition, and psychiatry. The Commission for
Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy certifies pharmacists in geriatric pharmacy
practice. The American Board of Applied Toxicology certifies pharmacists and
other medical professionals in applied toxicology.

Prevod teksta
Farmacija je zdravstvena profesija koja povezuje zdravstvene nauke sa hemijskim
naukama, a zadužena je da obezbedi sigurnu i efikasnu upotrebu farmaceutskih
lekova. Riječ uređaj od grčke pharmacon, "lijek lijeka". Najraniji oblik te riječi je
mikenski grčki Pa-a-ma-com.
Opseg ljekarničke prakse uključuje tradicionalnije uloge kao što su slaganje i
izdavanje lijekova, a uključuje i modernije usluge vezane za zdravstvenu zaštitu,
uključujući kliničke usluge, provjeru sigurnosti i djelotvornosti lijekova i pružanje
informacija o lijekovima. Farmaceuti su stoga stručnjaci za terapiju lijekovima i
primarni su zdravstveni radnici koji optimiziraju upotrebu lijekova kako bi
pacijentima pružili pozitivne zdravstvene rezultate. A posao u kojem se obavlja
farmacija (u prvom smislu) naziva se apoteka, 'hemičari' ili (u SAD) drogerija. U
Američkim apotekama obično se ne prodaju lijekovi, već i mješoviti artikli kao što
su slatkiši, kozmetika i časopisi, kao i lagana osvježavajuća pića ili namirnice. Reč
apoteka je izvedena iz korijena riječi pharma koji se koristio od 15. do 17. vijeka.
Osim farmaceutskih odgovornosti, farma je nudila opće medicinske savjete i niz
usluga koje sada obavljaju isključivo drugi liječnici specijalisti, kao što su hirurgija i
babica. Farma (kako su je nazivali) često je poslovala preko maloprodaje koja je,
osim sastojaka za lijekove, prodavala duhan i patentirane lijekove. Farme su
također koristile mnoge druge biljke koje nisu navedene. U svom istraživanju
biljnih i hemijskih sastojaka, rad farmacije može se smatrati pretečom modernih
nauka hemije i farmakologije, prije formulisanja naučne metode. Dva simbola koja
se najčešće povezuju sa farmacijom su malter i tučak i znak ℞ (recipere), koji se
često piše kao "Rx" u otkucanom tekstu. Izložbeni globus se također koristio u
zemljama engleskog govornog područja sve do početka 20. stoljeća. Apotekarske
organizacije često koriste druge simbole kao što su zdjela za higijenu koja se često
koristi u Holandiji, hemijske metode i kaducej u tamošnjim logotipima. Ostali
simboli su uobičajeni u različitim zemljama: grčki krst u Francuskoj, Argentini,
Velikoj Britaniji, Belgiji, Italiji i Španiji, u sve rjeđim blejanjima u Holandiji i crveno
stilizirano slovo A u Njemačkoj i Austriji (iz apoteke, njemačko riječ za ljekarnu) iz
istog grčkog korijena kao i engleska riječ apotekar. Područje farmacije općenito se
može podijeliti u tri osnovne discipline:
1.Farmaceutika, 2. Medicinska hemija i farmakognozija i 3. Farmaceutska praksa.
Granice između ovih disciplina i sa drugim naukama, kao što je biohemija, nisu
uvek jasne; a često suradnički timovi iz različitih disciplina istražuju zajedno.
Farmakologija se ponekad smatra četvrtom disciplinom farmacije. Iako je
farmakologija neophodna za proučavanje farmacije, ona nije specifična za
farmaciju. Stoga se obično smatra poljem širih nauka.
Pharmacoinformatics
Nova disciplina za sistemsko otkrivanje i razvoj lijekova uz efikasnost i sigurnost.
Ostale specijalizacije u ljekarničkoj praksi priznate od strane Odbora
farmaceutskih specijalnosti uključuju: kardiovaskularne, infektivne bolesti,
onkologiju, farmakoterapiju, nuklearnu, nutricionističku i psihijatriju. Komisija za
certificiranje u gerijatrijskoj ljekarni certificira farmaceute u gerijatrijskoj
ljekarničkoj praksi. Američki odbor za primijenjenu toksikologiju certificira
farmaceute i druge medicinske stručnjake u primijenjenoj toksikologiji.
