The staff of a small pharmacy consists of a pharmaceutist and 2-3 technical workers. The pharmaceutist must be at the pharmacy during the whole day because he is responsible for the true distribution of remedies and introduction of necessary information in the computer. The pharmaceutist duties is to answer all the questions interesting the buyers, relatively prescribed drugs as far as possible fix the price ok risk of the received drugs by the patient. It is wonderful that the patients buy the drugs at the same pharmacy and how it was said before each of the patients has its own file in the computer.

Pharmacists fill prescriptions written by physicians or dentists and prepare labels for medicines. On the labels, pharmacists include direc­tions for patients given in prescriptions. At one time, pharmacists com­pounded their own medicines. Today pharmaceutical manufacturers supply most drugs. But pharmacists must still compound some medi­cines and be able to prepare antiseptic solutions, ointments, and other common remedies. They also advise people on the selection of nonpre­scription drugs, such as cold tablets. In addition, pharmacists are re­sponsible for the legal sale of narcotics and poisonous substances.

Pharmacy laws generally include regulations for pharmacy prac­tice, poisons sale, narcotics dispensing, and labeling and sale of dan­gerous drugs. The pharmacist sells and dispenses drugs within the provisions of the food and drug laws of the country in which he prac­tices. These laws recognize the national pharmacopoeia (a treatise on products used in medicine, their purity, dosages, and other data) as the standard for drugs. The pharmacopoeias of different nations are compiled and published according to respective national legal proce­dures. The World Health Organization of the United Nations pub­lished the first volume of the Pharmacopoeia Internationalis in the early 1950s. Its purpose is to standardize, as far as possible, drugs throughout the world. There are two volumes and a supplement. This pharmacopoeia is intended to supply standards and nomenclature for those countries that have no national pharmacopoeia: Volume 1 con­tains monographs for basic chemicals and drugs of plant origin; Vol­ume 2 contains monographs for medicinal agents and specifications for dosage forms.
