Product Description The goal of A Practical Guide to Contemporary Pharmacy Practice, from its beginning, has been to provide a succinct, easy-to-use, current, and very functional handbook on the practice of pharmacy. The 3rd edition continues in this tradition. This book provides a source for contemporary practice previously found spread out over journal articles, legal documents, standards of practice, specialty books, and textbooks. It goes through the steps of receiving the prescription, preparing it, and completing the compound. A back-of-book CD-ROM complements the text with study guides, interactive self-assessment, and multimedia demonstrations of compounding procedures for key chapters. A companion Website will include resources for instructors.
