Text Book of Social Pharmacy (ER2020-15T)

Original price was: ₹220.Current price is: ₹190.

We are pleased to introduce the first edition of “Social Pharmacy” for the First year student of D.Pharm which is in accordance with the newly revised syllabus of Pharmacy council of India. This Social Pharmacy book has been written to help the reader understand and address many of these issues. It is unashamedly written from a pharmacy perspective, although we do hope those from other disciplines will also find it of use. We have made considerable effort to update each chapter and ensure the content is relevant to current practice. In both primary and secondary care the use of medicines is the most common intervention in healthcare. Medicines use, however, is not without risk. Drug selection and prescribing is increasingly complex and demanding, and undertaken as part of a multi-disciplinary process that involves pharmacists, some of whom are now prescribers in their own right, along with doctors, nurses and other members of the healthcare team. All must strive to promote safe, appropriate and cost effective prescribing that respects patient choice and promotes adherence.
