Principles of pharmacy practice
Pharmaceutical care is the responsible provision of drug therapy for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improve a patient's quality of life. The outcomes of treatment are:
● Cure of disease
● Elimination or reduction of symptoms
● Arresting/slowing disease process
● Preventing a disease or symptoms

Pharmaceutical care is a component of pharmacy practice that entails the direct interaction of the pharmacist with the patient for the purpose of caring the patient's medication-related needs. Translated into everyday practice, pharmaceutical care is what an individual pharmacist does when he or she:
● Evaluates a patient's drug-related needs
● Determines whether the patient has any actual or potential drug-related problems,
● Works with the patient and other healthcare professionals to design, implement and monitor a pharmacotherapeutic plan that will resolve/prevent the problem

Areas:
● Disease state management
● Clinical interventions (refusal to dispense a drug, recommendation to change and/or add a drug to patient's pharmacotherapy, dosage adjustments, etc
● Extemporaneous pharmaceutical compounding
● Patient care
