62. PharmD and OP dispensary

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Thu, 08/23/2012 - 08:56
I was the one who was very happy when I learnt that students are taught in hospital environment in PharmD course. This has been one of my major observation and demand that culturing the students away from the hospital and community environment cannot yield healthy pharmacists supportive to community or hospital service.

Indian Health Service: Paving the Way for Pharmaceutical Care Quote: "For more than three decades, pharmacists with the federal Indian Health Service (IHS) have practiced pharmaceutical care in its broadest form.

55. Pharmacist - Boquets & Brickbats

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Sun, 07/08/2012 - 14:50
What is myth and what is reality? Whome to believe? In India it is true that Pharmacist is the least cared health professional. but we boast of having hundreds of pharmacy colleges and hundreds of foreign students studying pharmacy in these colleges It is also true that we havn't produced even one community or hospital pharmacist worth its name.

51. Pharmacist - a neglected work force

Dear pharmacist, I was just browsing blindly when I came across a blog dated 2007.

47. Tobacco - a nuisense created by man!

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 10:43
Thanks to Shiva for a good opening topic for 2012. I wish you are not a smoker or at least a ex-smoker now! Cigarette is one such product that does more harm when used in the right way! Cigarette is the only product on the market that is perhaps exempted from disclosing the contents. There are no quality parameters which you can use to cross check the quality.

40 Toxicity treatment - a challenge to the hospital

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Thu, 10/13/2011 - 10:07
We encounter two distinct toxicity cases in the hospital: Toxicity due to drugs & Toxicity due to poisons Many a time these two though are generally looked upon as alike superficially the practitioners and academicians need to treat them differently. The picture perhaps would be clear if I put it as: 'Toxic effect of a poison' & 'Toxic effect of a drug'

37. Pharmacist on the field Vs Pharmacist off the field

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Tue, 04/19/2011 - 11:01
Well, these two category of pharmacist doesn't meet on eye-to-eye basis.Each are dedicated set of people. But both are playing on a very sticky wicket. Pharmacist on field has put his money or managing the investment of some one. Therefore, his focus is mainly on 'How much goes out and How much comes in' and at the end of the day he calculates the money he has made.

35. Pharmacy practice Vs Pharma legislation in India

The issue needs and deserves lot of discussion and it is high time that some gap-analysis is done in the legislated Acts and Rules to make it apt to the current situation. Example: 1. Registered Pharmacist certificate is given under Pharmacy Act to accord all privileges in practice of pharmacy. 2. Drug license is given under D & C Act to the Reg Pharmacist to SELL / DISTRIBUTE' drugs.
