Pharmacy is a profession that has existed for centuries. Pharmacists are involved in preparing and selling medicines, as well as advising patients on their use. In the modern world, pharmacists are an important link in the health care system and medical care for the population.
The development of pharmacy began in ancient Egypt, where clergy were involved in the preparation of medicines. Subsequently, this profession began to develop and improve, and already in the Middle Ages, pharmacists began to appear in Europe.
In Russia, the pharmacy business began its development in the 17th century, when Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich issued a decree on the creation of pharmacies. Since then, pharmacists have become an integral part of the country's medical infrastructure.
Today, pharmacists are professionals in their field. In order to work in a pharmacy, you must have a higher pharmaceutical education. Pharmacists know everything about drugs: from their composition and properties to methods of use and possible side effects.
Pharmacists also help patients choose medications that are right for them. They assess the patient’s health status, take into account possible contraindications and interactions with other medications, and only then recommend the necessary medications.
In addition, pharmacists are constantly working to improve their knowledge and skills in order to keep abreast of all new trends in the pharmaceutical industry and provide the best service to their patients.
Pharmacists therefore play an important role in society, providing care and support to patients and contributing to the health of the nation.
