Pharmacy includes pharmacy and pharmacology, and the main differences between them are:
First of all, the concept is different.
1, Pharmacy: Pharmacy is a science that studies, develops and produces drugs for treating and preventing diseases with modern chemistry and medicine as the main theoretical guidance.
2. Pharmacy: the science of studying pharmaceutical preparations and dosage forms.
3. Pharmacology: the science that studies the law and mechanism of interaction between drugs and organisms.
Second, the research content is different.
1, Pharmacy: studies the source, manufacture, processing, shape, function, use, analysis and identification, circulation and management of drugs.
2. Pharmacy:
(1) basic theory: sustained and controlled release, transdermal theory, etc.
(2) Production technology: prescription design, preparation technology, etc.
(3) Quality control: the relationship between "preparation" and "testing";
(4) Rational use: selection of dosage forms and preparations;
3. Pharmacology:
(1) Pharmacokinetics: To study the law of action of drugs on the body, including the action, mechanism and clinical application of drugs.
(2) Pharmacokinetics: study the disposal process of drugs, the absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion process of drugs in the body, and the law of blood drug concentration changing with time.
Third, the tasks are different.
1, drugstore:
(1) Develop new drugs;
(2) To clarify the mechanism of action of drugs;
(3) developing new preparations;
(4) Formulating drug quality standards, controlling drug quality and standardizing drug management;
2. Pharmacy: The routine task is to solve the administration form of drugs, and the exploration and research task is to improve the efficacy of drugs.
3. Pharmacology: to clarify the law and mechanism of drug action; To provide theoretical basis for guiding rational clinical drug use, giving full play to the best curative effect of drugs and reducing or avoiding adverse reactions; Develop new drugs and discover new uses of existing drugs.
