Pharmacy is a subject that studies the discovery, development, preparation, analysis, evaluation and application of drugs.

1, subject overview:

Pharmacy is a subject with both natural science and applied science. It studies the basic knowledge of drugs in chemistry, biology, pharmacology and pharmacy, as well as the research, production and rational application of drugs. Pharmacy involves many disciplines, and it is an interdisciplinary subject of medicine and chemistry.

2, drug development and discovery:

One of the important tasks of pharmacy is to develop and discover new drugs. Pharmacists explore new drugs with therapeutic, preventive and diagnostic functions by means of chemical synthesis of drugs, extraction of natural drugs and screening of efficacy. The development of new drugs requires the research and experiment of drug design, molecular simulation and drug metabolism.

3, pharmaceutical preparations and production:

Pharmacy also includes the research and development and production of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmacists design and develop pharmaceutical dosage forms by studying the physical properties, chemical reaction properties, stability and absorbability of drugs. The selection and preparation of pharmaceutical preparations have an important influence on the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs.

4, drug analysis and quality control:

Analysis and quality control methods of pharmaceutical research drugs. Pharmacists ensure the quality of drugs by analyzing their composition, content, purity and stability. Drug analysis techniques include chromatographic analysis, mass spectrometry, infrared spectrum analysis and a series of methods to ensure the safety, effectiveness and stability of drugs.

5, pharmacological research:

Pharmacy is closely related to pharmacology. Pharmacology studies the mechanism of action, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of drugs in organisms. Through pharmacological research, we can understand the effects and adverse reactions of drugs on the body and provide scientific basis for rational drug use.

6, clinical pharmacy and clinical pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacy applies the theory and technology of pharmacy to clinical drug management and drug treatment to ensure the safety and effectiveness of patients' medication. Clinical pharmacists are responsible for drug prescription review and drug treatment monitoring. Clinical pharmacology studies the internal processes of drugs in different populations, such as drug metabolism and drug interaction.
