PHARMACY The pharmacy is a clinical health science that connects medical science and chemistry and is responsible for the discovery, disposal, manufacturing, effective and safe usage, and management of pharmaceuticals and treatments. Certain pharmacist specialties, such as clinical pharmacy, require additional abilities, such as understanding the collection and evaluation of physical and laboratory data . Branches of Pharmacy can be illustrated as Pharmaceutics (based on formulation of new drugs), Pharmacology (based on study of drug with animal models), Medicinal Chemistry (based on chemical synthesis of drugs), Pharmacognosy (based on medical drugs derived from plants), Pharmacy Practice (based on clinical data), Physical Pharmacy (based on application of physics and chemistry in pharmacy) and Jurisprudence (based on regulation and guidelines of pharmacy).

5. FATHER OF MEDICINE The  ancient Greek physician who lived during Greece’s Classical period and is traditionally regarded as the father of medicine. It is difficult to isolate the facts of Hippocrates’ life from the later tales told about him or to assess his medicine accurately in the face of centuries of reverence for him as the ideal physician. About 60 medical writings have survived that bear his name, most of which were not written by him. He has been revered for his ethical standards in medical practice, mainly for the Hippocratic Oath, which, it is suspected, he did not write. Hippocrate (460   BCE - 375  BCE)

6. PRESCRIPTION LOGO A  prescription , often abbreviated  ℞  or  Rx , is a formal communication from a physician or other registered healthcare professional to a pharmacist, authorizing them to dispense a specific prescription drug for a specific patient. Historically, it was a physician's instruction to an apothecary listing the materials to be compounded into a treatment—the symbol ℞ (a capital letter R, crossed to indicate abbreviation) comes from the first word of a medieval prescription, Latin  recipere ( 'take thou'), that gave the list of the materials to be compounded . It is generally written at the left upper side of the prescription by the physicians.
