Introduction 1. Pharmacy: “Derived from the Greek word ‘ Pharmakon ’ = drug , is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemical sciences.” It helps in ensuring the safe and effective use of drugs. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 2
Introduction “Pharmacy is the art & science of preparing & dispensing medications & the provision of drug-related information to the public”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 3
Introduction Pharmacy is also the term for an establishment where pharmacy is practice(Synonym: Drug store).The first pharmacy in Europe (still working) was opened in1241 in Trier, Germany. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 4
Introduction The word pharmacy is derived from its root word pharma which was the term used since 1400-1600s. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 5
Introduction 2.Pharmaceutics: Drugs which are obtained from various sources are rarely administered in their pure chemical form. Generally drugs are combined with other inert substances ( excipients ) and converted into suitable form of administration commonly termed as dosage form. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 6
Introduction “Pharmaceutics is a branch of Pharmacy which includes the study of formulation of drug into dosage form”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 7
Introduction “Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with all aspects of the process of turning a new chemical entity (NCE)/ Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) into a medication, able to be safely and effectively used by patients in the community”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 8
Introduction “Pharmaceutics is the science of dosage form design”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 9
Introduction There are many chemicals with known pharmacological properties but a raw chemical is of no use to a patient. “Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug substance into a dosage form”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 10
Introduction 3.Pharmacists : “Pharmacists are health professionals who practice the science of pharmacy”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 11
Introduction Pharmacists are the experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize medication use to provide patients with positive health outcomes. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 12
Introduction The continuing and expanding need for Pharmacists can be demonstrated by the society’s ever increasing requirements, growing variety and demand for drugs . It emphasis on research to find new, safe and effective remedies. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 13
Introduction WHO Recommendations for Pharmacists . The World Health Organization’s has laid down a pharmacist / population ratio of 1:2000 for optimal healthcare delivery. In Pakistan this ratio is even more than 1-21000. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 14
Introduction According to an estimate, there are 20000 pharmacists in the country, while the country needs 78,000 pharmacists for a population of 170,000,000; a target that is still far from being reached. Perhaps building new Pharmacy institutes is the need of the hour. . Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 15
Introduction Physical pharmacy: “Physical pharmacy integrates knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry and applies them to the pharmaceutical dosage form development”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 16
Introduction It focus on the theories behind the phenomena needed for dosage form design. Enable the pharmacist to make rational decisions on scientific basis concerning the art and technology of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, etc. Physical pharmacy provides the basis for understanding the chemical and physical phenomena that govern the in vivo and in vitro actions of pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 17
History and Literature of Pharmacy Different eras of pharmacy The evolution of the profession of pharmacy can be divided into five historical periods ANCIENT ERA- The beginning of time to AD 1600 EMPIRIC ERA- 1600-1940 INDUSTRIALIZATION ERA- 1940-1970 PATIENT CARE ERA- 1970-present BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING ERA- The new horizon Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 18
History and Literature of Pharmacy Different eras of pharmacy Others RELIGIOUS PERIOD PHILOSOPHIC PERIOD EXPERIMENTAL PERIOD SCIENTIFIC PERIOD Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 19
History and Literature of Pharmacy Different eras of pharmacy ANCIENT ERA- The beginning of time to AD 1600 ( ANTIQUITY) People used the water, plants and earth around them for soothing compresses on wounds and ailments. Used leaves, mud, and cool water to stop bleeding and heal wounds. They used these methods by observing how animals heal their wounds. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 20
History and Literature of Pharmacy Documented experiences of healing with clay tablets , provided the earliest known written record. Babylon often called the cradle of civilization( it is the first place where complex urban centers grew or civilized), provides the earliest known record of practice of the art of the apothecary(one who prepares and sells drugs or compounds for medicinal purposes) . Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 21
History and Literature of Pharmacy EGYPTIAN TIMES BABYLONIANS For the Babylonians, medical care was provided by two classes of practitioners: The asipu ( magical healer ) The asu ( empirical healer ) Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 23
History and Literature of Pharmacy The asipu ( magical healer ) The asipu relied more heavily on spells and magical stones far more than plant materials. The asu ( empirical healer ) The asu drew upon a large collection of drugs and manipulated them into several dosage forms that are still basic today such as suppositories, pills and ointments. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 24
History and Literature of Pharmacy Days Of Papyrus Ebers : Though Egyptian medicine dates from about 2900 B.C, best known and most important Pharmaceutical record is the “Papyrus Ebers ”(1600 B.C), a collection of 800 prescriptions mentioning 700 drugs. The drugs are chiefly botanical although mineral and animal drugs are also noted. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 25
History and Literature of Pharmacy Greek Civilization: Asklepious (God Of Healing) At the touch of his hands or of the tongue of his sacred serpent, miraculous things happened. Sacred serpent gradually emerged as the official symbol of medicine around the world. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 26
History and Literature of Pharmacy On the right hand of Asklepious stood Hygeia, one of his daughter Her arm entwined by a serpent and holding a bowl thought to have contained a healing poison. And in the earliest records one finds a similar mixed concept of drug or Pharmakon , a Greek word that meant “magic spells’’ or “poison”. Pharmaceutics-IA (Physical Pharmacy) 27
History and Literature of Pharmacy Hippocrat ( tibe unani ): Hippocrates known as the “father of medicine”. He is one of the most important name in the development of Pharmacy as a profession based on scientific knowledge rather than a mixture of medicine and spiritual acts.
