Abstract:
Pharmacists play a crucial role in the healthcare system by ensuring that patients receive safe and effective medications. They are responsible for dispensing medication, advising patients on drug interactions and side effects, monitoring medication therapies, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes additionally, pharmacists provide patient education on disease management, medication compliance, and lifestyle modifications. They also serve as drug information experts, conducting drug utilization reviews and providing guidance on appropriate medication selection and dosing. The role of pharmacists is becoming increasingly important as healthcare systems strive to improve patient safety, reduce medication errors, and control healthcare costs. As medication experts, pharmacists are well-positioned to help address these challenges and improve the overall quality of care provided to patients. As a summary we can say that “Physician gives medicine to the patients but life to medicine given by pharmacist”
