What Future Pharmacists Do In Lab
WWW: Life is like going to SS2, you feel insecured yet you still love to go there.
Ever wonder what future pharmacists do in lab?
Here is what we do for Natural Products of Medicine:
Camwhoring in the lab while boiling the residue in the isolation of caffeine from tea leaves.
My great lab partner, Steph and I doing suction filtration. I need to wear the gloves as the beaker is boiling hot.
Our cute lecturer, Dr. Arjun in action with the rotatory evaporator (RM6000++!!) ‘It is nothing but…..’ (laughing out loud)
Here is what we do during Dispensing practicals:
All the things you need for extemporaneous (on the spot) dispensing- conical measure, spatula, weighing boat, measuring cylinder, labels, ‘recipe’ to name a few.
Future pharmacists making a Simple Linctus BP(cough syrup)- that explains the maroon colour rendered by Amaranth dye. BP means British Pharmacopoiea, i.e. the ingredients and preparation methods that we employ adhere to the BP.
So much for doing experiment. It is extremely exhausting. I love dispensing and microbiology practicals but NOT Natural Products for Medicine. Cest La Vie.
Now, after such an extensive Tour de Pharmacy lab, I hope you all are enlightened as to what rigourours training future pharmacists have to undergo in order to be a licensed pharmacists.
Not ANYONE can just go behind the counter and ‘count tablet’ and ‘make syrup’, mind you. ^_^
