Community, hospital, and retail pharmacists compound and dispense prescribed drug products for customers/health care professionals. They advise on the administration, use/effects of medications, and maintain medication profiles of customers. Industrial pharmacists participate in the research, development, and manufacture of drug products. They test new drug products; co-ordinate clinical investigations of new drug products; control the quality of drug products during production to make sure that they meet standards of potency, purity, uniformity, stability, and safety; and evaluate the labelling, packaging, and advertising of drug products.
