  • Pharmacognosy

    The study of the medical properties of drugs obtained from natural sources such as plants.

  • Papyrus Ebers

    A papyrus book of herbal knowledge, contains info about 700 drugs and over 800 prescriptions.

  • Alchemy

    Refers to the transmutation of metals; that is transforming or purifying metals into more valuable or useful materials.

  • William Proctor Junior

    Is considered the father of American pharmacy.

  • Mail Order Pharmacies

    Use large automated dispensing machines at a main distribution center and have very little interaction with customers.

  • What are the differences and similarities of an Ambulatory Pharmacy and a Compounding Pharmacy?

    Compounding pharmacies are smaller and often independently owned. Ambulatory pharmacies also perform compounding. However, they provide meds for specific types of medications that are too expensive and difficult to obtain in retail pharmacies.

  • Examples of questions that need to be directed to the pharmacist include:

    Medication errors; medication safety precautions, and Contraindications, or situations in which a drug shouldn't be taken due to negative interactions with other meds or disorders.

  • National Drug Code number (NDC)

    Indicates the manufacturer, product, and size and type of medication for all prescription and non prescription drugs

  • What is a "want book?"

    Every organization will have a want book, or a book in which techs and pharmacists must record the meds used and needed so that replacements can be ordered.

  • There is a "par" that the meds are set to. What does this mean?

    A par level is the minimum amount of stock necessary before replenishment of the medication needs to take place. If the medication is below par, that means more needs to be ordered. If the med is at or above par, there should be enough stock to fill prescriptions as necessary.
