2, drug discovery and development:
Pharmacy screens and develops potential drugs by collecting natural drug sources, synthesizing new compounds. The process of drug discovery includes drug design, synthesis, activity evaluation and pharmacodynamic mechanism research.
3, pharmaceutical preparations and quality control:
Pharmacy is committed to making drugs into pharmaceutical preparations suitable for human use, including tablets, capsules and injections. The research and development of pharmaceutical preparations need to consider physical and chemical properties, stability and adaptability to patients' needs.
4, curative effect evaluation and pharmacology:

Pharmacists can also participate in the design of drug treatment scheme, the monitoring of drug efficacy and the prevention of adverse reactions.
6, the relationship between pharmacy and other disciplines:
Pharmacy is closely related to chemistry, biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and other disciplines, giving full play to the advantages of each discipline. Pharmacy, clinical medicine, drug management and other disciplines jointly contribute to human health.
These are the main contents and functions of pharmacy. Through the research and application of pharmacy, we can better understand the characteristics and mechanism of action of drugs and make contributions to the treatment of diseases and the protection of human health.
