The practice of pharmacy, at its core, is a deeply trusted profession. Patients place their well-being, even their lives, in the hands of pharmacists, trusting them to dispense medications accurately, provide expert advice, and ensure their safety. This immense responsibility necessitates a robust framework of rules and principles that govern the profession – this framework is known as pharmacy law and ethics. Far from being mere academic concepts, these are the guiding forces that shape every decision, every interaction, and every dispensing act a pharmacist undertakes.
