(or is it ”ma’ + ‘pa’?)

(i prefer the latter)

(less letters for same # of ‘syllables’)

(and an ‘a’ vowel sond seems more ‘correct’ to me based on how i hear others pronounce and how i prefer to pronounce it)

(even if i run the risk of someone ‘calling me out’ with the ‘correct’ pronunciation and/or spelling)

(“pharmacy’ is the ‘science and technique of preparing and dispensing ‘drugs’)

(it is a health profession that links health sciences with chemical sciences and aims to ensure the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs)

(the scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications, and it also includes more modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information)

(pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize use of medication for the benefit of the patients)

(an establishment in which pharmacy (in the first sense) is practiced is called a pharmacy (this term is more common in the United States) or a chemist’s (which is more common in Great Britain))

(in the United States and Canada, drugstores commonly sell drugs, as well as miscellaneous items such as confectionery, cosmetics, office supplies, and magazines and occasionally refreshments, and groceries)

(the word pharmacy is derived from its root word pharma which was a term used since the 15th–17th centuries)

(however, the original Greek roots from pharmakos imply sorcery or even poison)

(in addition to pharma responsibilities, the pharma offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and ‘midwifery’)

(the ‘pharma’ (as it was referred to) often operated through a retail shop which, in addition to ingredients for medicines, sold tobacco and patent medicines)

(often the place that did this was called an “apothecary” and several languages have this as the dominant term, though their practices are more akin to a modern pharmacy, in english the term “apothecary” would today be seen as outdated or only approproriate if herbal remedies were on offer to a large extent)

(the pharmas also used many other herbs not listed)

(the greek word pharmakeia (Greek: φαρμακεία) derives frompharmakon (φάρμακον), meaning “drug”, “medicine” (or “poison”))

.

(in its investigation of herbal/chemical ingredients, the work of the ‘pharma’ may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of ‘chemistry’ + ‘pharmacology’, prior to the formulation of the ‘scientific method’)
