Clinical pharmacy may be defined as the
science and practice of rationale use of
medications, where the pharmacists are
more oriented towards the patient care
rationalizing medication therapy
promoting health, wellness of people.
It is the modern and extended field of
pharmacy.
KJJHCLINICAL PHARMACIS
Clinical pharmacists
often work in
collaboration with
physicians, nurse
practitioners, and other
healthcare
professionals.
Clinical
pharmacy
Maximize
patient`s
compliance
Assist
physician &
medical staff
Maximize
clinical effect
of medicine
Minimize risk
of adverse
effect
Objective of clinical pharmacy
MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
PHARMACY & CLINICAL PHARMACY
The discipline of pharmacy embraces the knowledge on
synthesis, chemistry and preparation of drugs
Clinical pharmacy is more oriented to the analysis of
population needs with regards to medicines, ways of
administration, patterns of use ,drugs effects on the
Patients, ‘the overall drug therapy management’.
Roles of a clinical
pharmacist
 When the drug is not yet
in hospital formulary.
 Before prescribing the
medications.
 After prescribing the
medication (Drug use
evaluation).
Patient counseling &
education.
Take patients
history.
Medication
reconciliation.
Patients follow up.

Clinical pharmacy activities may influence the
correct use of medicines at three different
levels:
1) before the prescription is written.
2) during the prescription is written.
3) after the prescription is written.
Level of Action of Clinical
Pharmacists
Clinical trials
Formularies
Drug information
Drug-related policies
 Counseling activity.
 Clinical pharmacists can influence the attitudes and
priorities of prescribers in their choice of correct treatments.
 The clinical pharmacist monitors, detects and prevents
Medication related problems.
 The clinical pharmacist pays special attention to the dosage of
drugs.
 Which need therapeutic monitoring.
 Community pharmacists can also make prescription
decisions directly, when over the counter drugs are
counseled.
Medication-related Problems
 Untreated indications.
 Improper drug selection.
 Sub therapeutic dosage.
 Medication Failure to receive
 Medication Over dosage.
 Adverse drug reactions.
 Drug interactions.
 Medication use without indication.
• Counseling
• Preparation of personalized formulation
• Drug use evaluation
• Outcome research
• Pharmacoeconomic studies
Clinical pharmacokinetics
Clinical pharmacokinetics is the process of applying
pharmacokinetic principles to determine the dosage
regimens of specific drug products for specific
patients to maximize pharmacotherapeutic effects
and minimize toxic effects.
TOXICOLOGY
 Toxicology is the scientific study of adverse
effects that occur in living organism due to
chemicals.
 It involves observing & reporting symptoms,
mechanisms, detection & treatment of toxic
substances, in particular relation to the
poisoning of human.
Terminology in toxicology
Toxic plant & fungi
Toxic chemicals
Forensic Toxicology is the study of the chemical and physical
properties of toxic substances and their physiological effect on living
organisms
Forensic toxicology deals with the medico-legal aspects of the
harmful effects of chemicals on human beings
Clinical toxicology deals with diagnosis and treatment of human
poisoning
Analytical toxicology deals with the detection,identification &
quantification
Branches of toxicology
 When the given dose is too high or the
kidneys or liver are unable to remove
the drug from the bloodstreams,
allowing it to accumulate in the body.
 In the context of pharmacology, drug
toxicity occurs when a person has
accumulated too much of a drug in
the bloodstream, leading the adverse
effects on the body.
Objectives of Toxicology Study
To learn about a dynamic multidisciplinary science.
To learn about interconnection among research,
hazard, risk assessment & risk management, to
protect public health.
To make tangible social contributions.
To increase public safety by identifying toxic
chemicals.
To provide expertise to guide policy decision making
& setting of guidelines.
To help the public by explaining complex scientific
subjects in simple language.
 Toxicology study helps a forensic toxicologist deals with
crime cases involving chemical evidence.
 Pharmaceutical toxicology helps to determine the efficacy,
M/A, & the potential adverse health effects of the active
pharmaceuticals ingredients being produced.
 In the use of cosmetic, it helps to aware the public about
toxic effects of its
