Pharmacy = myPassion

Pharmacy...??? Seems that when we are talking about pharmacy, what comes into the mind of most people is either giving (or dispensing) medication in front of the counters at the hospital, or opening up retail pharmacy shops for business and money-making purposes..... Well, its true....... BUT, that's not all about Pharmacy...... If you ask me, "What is Pharmacy?", then I would proudly say, Pharmacy is:





YES!!! That's what I'm talking about...... Pharmacy is more than just memorizing a whole lot of tongue-twisting medications' names (although it's one of the 'HELLISH' part of being a Pharmacist) and studying theoretically about the wiry chemical structure of the drugs...... Pharmacy Is An Art and Science of Compunding... Why is it a Science...? cuz (because :p) we are studying about the chemical aspect of the drugs..... and why is it an Art...? cuz (once again lol) as a Pharmacist, apart from knowing the structure and theoretical knowledge of the drugs, he/she MUST be able to compound the drug as well..... This is the bread-and-butter of a Pharmacist, which separates this career from other medicinal professions and medical practitioners...

Compounding drugs is similar to cooking, heheheh..... Just like cooking, other than having all the ingredients, a person needs to have the art of mixing all the ingredients to produce a good-tasting and mouth-watering meals........ And the same goes to drug compounding - art is needed to produce quality and excellent drugs...... If not, the drugs might be ineffective, or worst case scenario, becoming a potent poison which can even KILL YOU!!! 




having the art separates a Pharmacist from a Killer :D
