§ 19. DRUGS

Pharmacy is the science which treats of medicinal substances. It deals not only with medicines and the art of compounding and dispensing them, but with their combination, analysis and standardization. The title "pharmacist" is conferred upon a person who demonstrates that he is scientifically and professionally capable to engage in the practice of pharmacy.

Pharmacology and pharmacognozy are subdivision of pharmacy. The first one is the science of drugs, the second deals with the history, source, cultivation, collection, preparation, distribution, composition, purity and preservation of drugs of vegetable and animal origin.

The metric system is used exclusively when ordering prescribing drugs. The metric unit of weight is the gram(g) and this is divided into thousandths called milligrams.

The unit of volume is the liter (1) which is subdivided into thousandths called milliliters (ml). A liter is equivalent to just under two pints. The standard medicine teaspoon holds 5 ml.

Various reference books are available to help practitioners keep up to date with new drugs, the trade names of drugs, dosages and precautions with particular drugs. Manufacturers are also legally required to provide data sheets for all new drugs, giving full details of usage.

Drugs may be administered externally or internally.

Drugs are classified into groups which have a specific action, such as antibacterial drugs, which are used for the treatment of infections, or local anaesthetics, which abolish pain. Some drugs belong to more than one group; for example, lidocaine, which is a local and surface anaesthetic.

There are strict legal requirements for the purchase, storage, use, identification, dispensing and prescription of drugs.

Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess; other are caustic and may cause painful burns. Some common sense precautions in strong drugs are to keep them well away from food and drinks; keep poisons locked up in a special poisons cabinet. Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date.

Certain drugs, such as adrenaline, halothane, and hydrogen peroxide must be stored in dark bottles to prevent premature deterioration, while poisons bottles are ribbed to indicate by touch that their contents are dangerous

Antibiotics are drugs originally derived from microorganisms for example, penicillins, tetracyclines and erythromycin. Many people are allergic to penicillin and its derivatives. If such people are given any of these drugs they are liable to develop a dangerous reaction. Patients must always be asked beforehand if they are allergic to penicillin or any other drugs.
