They end up opening a pharmacy which is not systematic according to my opinion. Which come to a big question, what are the function of producing lots of pharmacist in Malaysia. In a private clinic no pharmacist is needed there. Doctors in Malaysia are given rights to dispense drugs themselves from their clinic. This issue has been in debate for many years. Oh yeah talking about the difference, the obvious difference is of course the dispensing rights. Totally in different area of being a pharmacist. Unfortunately my love is still for research and development in the industry. I believe this is what a pharmacist should be in the first place. With their knowledge on herbs they can prepare lots of medicinal preparations to suit people need. They are experts on herbs which makes them the chef of medicinal preparation. In germany extemporaneous preparation is a must for a pharmacist to know. What a waste isn’t it? Its like after you graduated you are only equip with theoretical informations. The PTA, Kara if I’m not mistaken(i dont know how to spell her name) tried her best to help me and its nice of her and it makes me sad and feel sorry and mad at myself for not being able to talk to her in German. Due to communication barrier i cant really try my best in Markt Apotheke because most of the time I’m trying to pick up the words and worrying about the language instead of focusing on what I’m doing. I do remember the little-by-little, aseptic technique, oil in water, water in oil and bla bla bla but when it comes to real practice dang! It is not as simple as that. We only do it like once or twice due to time limitation during our first year. We (pharmacy students) learnt dosage form back in the first year which we make suppositories, emulsions, creams, ointments, suspensions, tablets, injections and suspensions but now i hardly remember it. If there is a pharmacy which provide this kind of service in Malaysia,please let me know cause i intend to become an intern to improve my compounding skills.
In Malaysia, so far that i know, there is no community pharmacy that practice extemporaneous compounding. This is one of the biggest differences between a pharmacy in Malaysia and German.
Today i had been thought on how to make ointments and cream. These wholesalers are link to all the pharmacy in German (if I’m not mistaken) or maybe according to area.Īpart from the efficiency and systematic ordering and purchasing system, Markt Apotheke still compounds creams, emulsion, ointments (salbe) and medicinal wine. The delivery system of medicinal products from the wholesalers are efficient and fast which comes in the morning and afternoon.
They have the ordering and purchasing system which is very systematic. German’s community pharmacy setting is well established. Two days working at Markt Apotheke (well only for half day everyday) already proven how differ it is the community pharmacy setting in Malaysia from the German’s.
