Pharmacy Calculations for Technicians

Description

Pharmacy Calculations for Technicians, students learn the essential mathematics concepts and skills pharmacy technicians use on the job. In today's pharmacy, technicians are increasingly taking on the dispensing functions previously performed by pharmacists. The period of growth or development at which medicinal activity is highest has been carefully determined for many plants. The proportion, of alkaloid in the leaves of Hyocyamus Niger and of belladonna is largest at the beginning of flowering, whilst with Stromonium the peak coincides with full bloom. A onecompartment model provides a clinically useful framework for estimating the serum level time curve of aminoglycosides. Two parameters are required for this model, apparent volume of distribution (Vd) and elimination rate (Kel). Clinical pharmacologists are physicians, pharmacists and scientists whose focus is developing and understanding new drug therapies. Clinical pharmacologists work in a variety of settings in academia, industry and government. In the laboratory setting they study biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism and genetics. In the office setting they design and evaluate clinical trials, create and implement regulation guidelines for drug use, and look at drug utilization on local and global scales. This book is intended to be used as a tool that can be quickly accessed and employed in the in the student setting, as a lab reference, and in the pharmacy practice. Designed as a concise reference and resource, it will provide easily accessible definitions, pharmacy applications, insight on working with "tricky" calculations, and realistic/function example calculation.
