Pharmacy
Pharmacy is the profession of compounding and dispensing medication.
More recently, the term has come to include other services related
to patient care including clinical practice, medication review,
and drug information. Some of these new roles are now mandated by
law in various legislatures. Pharmacists, therefore, are drug therapy
experts and the primary health professionals who optimize medication
management to produce positive health-outcomes.
The symbols most commonly associated with pharmacy
are the mortar and pestle and the ? (recipere) character.
Pharmacy organisations often employ other elements such
as the Bowl of Hygeia, conical measures, and caduceuses
in their logos. Other symbols are common in different
countries such as the green Greek cross in France, and
the Gaper in The Netherlands.
