Pharmacy is the study of the origin and chemistry of drugs, procedures for their development, their preparation, their effects and their eventual use for prevention and treatment of diseases in living beings. Dispensing and counseling skills, as well as pharmacy law and ethics, form an important part of the profession. Growing complexity of drug therapy with its potential side effects along with dangers of drug abuse has brought into the focus the need of pharmacists' special skills to maintain a rational approach in the realm of drug treatments. This along with the massive growth in the pharmaceutical industry has created increasing demand for trained pharmacists.
