Pharmacy is the science of preparing and dispensing medical drugs.

TYPES OF PHARMACY:

CONCEPT OF TAMIL MEDICALS:

Mathematical concepts used in Tamil medicals are Dosage calculation (basic algorithms,
measurements and conversion, Fraction and percentage), Probability, Algebra.

VETERINARY PHARMACY:
Veterinary pharmacy is a field of pharmacy practice, in which veterinary pharmacists may
compound medications, fill prescriptions, and manage drug therapies for animals, birds.

CONCEPT OF VETERINARY PHARMACY:

The veterinary pharmacy is to place where drugs are stored, dispensed, and compounded.

3
MEDICATION:
Medication are chemicals or compounds used to cure, halt, or prevent disease; help in the
diagnosis of illness. Medications come in many dosage forms, including tablets, capsules,
liquids, creams and patches. They can also be given in different ways, such as by mouth, by
infusion into a vein or by drops that are put into the eye or ears.

TYPES OF MEDICATION (OR) DOSAGE FORMS:

 Tablets
 Liquids
 Cream or Ointments
 Drops
 Needles
 Capsules
 Pills
 Suppositories

4
ARRANGEMENTS OF DRUGS IN SHELVES:
 Shelves should be made of steel or treated wood.
 Shelves should be strong and robust.
 Drugs are arranged in alphabetical order of generic names.
 Each dosage form of drug is arranged in separate and distinct areas.

5
DRUG DOSAGE CALCULATION:
Abbreviations commonly used in Dosage

Formulas:

6
VETERINARY DIAGNOSIS:
The process of determining which disease or condition explains an animal symptoms and
signs.

PRESCRIPTION:
A prescription is the piece of paper on which your doctor writes an order for medicine
and which you give to a chemist or pharmacist to get the medicine. A prescription, often
abbreviated ℞ or Rx, is a formal communication from a physician or other registered
healthcare professional to a pharmacist, authorizing them to dispense a specific prescription
drug for a specific patient.

RULES OF VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION:

A written prescription for a veterinary medicine must include the following;

 Name, address, and telephone number of the person prescribing the product.
 Qualifications of the person prescribing the product.
 Name and address of the owner or keeper of the animal.
 Identification (including the species) of the animal or group of animals to be treated.
 Date.

7
  Signature (or other authentication) of the person prescribing the product - sign in ink
with your normal signature.
 Name and amount of the product prescribed:
o Use product or approved generic name for drugs in capital letters – do not
abbreviate. Ensure the full name is stated, to include the pharmaceutical form
and strength.
o Write out microgram/nanogram – do not abbreviate.
o Always put 0 before an initial decimal point (e.g. 0.5 mg), but avoid the
unnecessary use of a decimal point (e.g. 3 mg not 3.0 mg).
o State duration of treatment where known and the total quantity to be supplied.
o Give precise instructions concerning route/dose/formulation. Directions
should preferably be in English without abbreviation. It is recognized that
some Latin abbreviations are used.
 Necessary warnings.
 Withdrawal period, if relevant.
 The directions that the prescriber wishes to appear on the labeled product. It is good
practice to include the words 'For animal treatment only'.
 A declaration that 'This prescription is for an animal under my care' or words to that
effect.

PHARMACY MANAGEMENT: Pharmacists use mathematical tools to manage

inventory, calculate profit margins, and optimize workflows in pharmacies, Financial
management, stock control, storage and distribution.

8
 VARIOUS SECTORS IN PHARMACY
STOCKING:
"stocking" refers to the process of managing and maintaining the inventory of medications
and other pharmaceutical products. This includes ordering medications from suppliers,
receiving and unpacking deliveries, shelving medications in appropriate storage conditions,
and ensuring that stock levels are adequate to meet patient needs.

Types of stocking:

1. Primary stocking
2. Secondary stocking
3. Emergency stocking
4. Cold chain stocking
5. Bulk stocking

COMPOUNDING:
Compounding in pharmacy refers to the
process of creating customized medications
tailored to the specific needs of individual
patients. This can involve mixing, combining,
or altering ingredients to create medications in
forms that are not readily available
commercially. Compounding pharmacists use
specialized equipment, chemicals, and
techniques to prepare medications such as:

 Customized Dosages: Adjusting the strength or dosage form of a medication to

meet a patient's unique requirements (e.g., liquid forms for patients who cannot
swallow pills).
 Flavoring: Adding flavors to improve the taste of medications, especially for
pediatric or geriatric patients.
 Allergy-Free Formulations: Preparing medications without specific ingredients
that patients asre allergic to (e.g., dyes, preservatives).

9
  Combination Preparations: Creating medications that combine multiple active
ingredients into a single dosage form for easier administration.
 Unavailable or Discontinued Medications: Compounding pharmacists can
recreate medications that are no longer commercially available or facing
shortages.

PACKAGING:

Packaging in pharmacy refers to the process

of preparing medications for dispensing to
patients in a safe, convenient, and organized
manner.

LABELING:
Each medication package is labelled with essential information such as the patient's name,
medication name, dosage instructions, expiration date, and any relevant warnings or
precautions.

10
BILLING:
Pharmacy Billing Process
 Receive prescription from patient or physician.
 Enter patient details in pharmacy system.
 Add prescription details in pharmacy system.
 Approval: Pharmacist to verify prescription accuracy.
 Check drug inventory.
 Apply any insurance coverage or discounts.
 Calculate final bill amount.
 Present bill to the patient.
 Receive payment from patient.
 Update pharmacy system with payment data.
 Print receipt for the patient.
 Hand over prescribed medicines to the patient.
 Send payment information to the accounting department for record.
 Send transaction details to the insurance company if covered.
 Provide patient education & counselling about medication if necessary.
 Close the billing process.

11
DISPENSING:
Dispensing in pharmacy refers to the process of preparing and providing medications to
patients according to a prescription or healthcare provider's instructions. Here's an overview
of the dispensing process:
 Receiving the Prescription: Pharmacists receive prescriptions from patients or
healthcare providers either electronically, over the phone, or in person.
 Verification: Pharmacists or pharmacy technicians verify the prescription details,
including the medication name, strength, dosage form, quantity, and directions for use.
They also check for any allergies or potential interactions with other medications the
patient may be taking.
 Preparation: The medication is prepared according to the prescription. This may
involve counting pills, measuring liquids, or preparing ointments or creams. If
necessary, compounding (customizing medications) may be performed.
 Labelling: The dispensed medication is labelled with important information such as the
patient's name, medication name, dosage instructions, and any relevant warnings or
precautions. Labelling ensures safe and accurate use of the medication by the patient.
 Documentation: Detailed records of the dispensed medications, including the
prescription details and patient information, are maintained for regulatory compliance
and patient care purposes.
 Dispensing Safety Checks: Before handing over the medication to the patient,
pharmacists perform final safety checks to ensure accuracy in medication preparation
and dispensing.

MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES BEHIND BLOOD GLUCOSE

MONITORING :

UNDERSTANDING GLUCOSE LEVELS:

These machines measure the amount of sugar (glucose) in a tiny drop of blood. The
measurement is typically in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

CALIBRATION:

Sugar checking machines need to be calibrated to ensure accurate readings. This involves
using solutions with known glucose concentrations to set up the machine correctly.

INTERPRETING READINGS:

Results from the machine show current blood sugar levels. Pharmacists help patients
understand these readings to manage their diabetes effectively. For instance, a reading of 120
mg/dl means there are 120 milligrams of glucose in every deciliter of blood.

CALCULATING DOSAGES:

Pharmacists may calculate insulin dosages based on these readings and other factors like
meal plans and physical activity levels.

13
THE MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS BEHIND A BLOOD PRESSURE
(BP) CHECKING MACHINE

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE:

The BP machine uses a cuff that inflates and deflates around your upper arm. It measures
two types of pressure:

 Systolic Pressure: The highest pressure in your arteries when your heart beats and
pumps blood.
 Diastolic Pressure: The lowest pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.

DETECTION:

The machine detects these pressures using a sensor inside the cuff. It measures the force of
blood against the walls of your arteries when the cuff inflates and deflates.

DISPLAY:

Once the measurement is complete, the machine displays two numbers, like "120/80
mmHg." The first number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart beats, and the second
number (diastolic) is the pressure when your heart rests.

MATHEMATICAL UNDERSTANDING:

Behind the scenes, the machine calculates these pressures based on the changes in air
pressure inside the cuff and the sensor's readings. It uses algorithms to convert these readings
into systolic and diastolic pressures that you see on the screen.

14
ACCURACY AND CALIBRATION:

To ensure accuracy, BP machines are calibrated regularly. This calibration involves

checking against known standard pressures to make sure the machine gives correct readings.

INTERPRETATION:

Healthcare providers interpret these numbers to assess your blood pressure health. Normal
blood pressure is typically below 120/80 mmHg. Higher numbers may indicate hypertension
(high blood pressure), which can lead to health risks if not managed.

MATH IN PHARMACY

ALGEBRA: Dosage Calculations

Pharmacists use algebra to calculate

the correct dosage of medications for
patients based on factors such as body
weight, age, and condition. This
includes determining how much of a
medication is needed per dose or per
day.

PROBABILITY: Medication Side

Effects

Pharmacists consider the probability of

patients experiencing side effects from
medications. For instance, understanding
that a certain antibiotic has a 5% chance of
causing nausea helps pharmacists educate
patients and monitor for adverse reactions.
