About this book
Community Pharmacy & Management prepares D.Pharma Second Year students for the real work of a community pharmacist — serving patients and running the pharmacy — and this textbook covers both sides clearly. Written strictly as per the PCI Education Regulation 2020 (ER20-22T), it follows the official syllabus so what you study is exactly what your university examines.
It begins with community pharmacy practice, the professional responsibilities of the pharmacist and Good Pharmacy Practice, then prescription handling (parts of a prescription, legality, labelling, dispensing and good dispensing practices). It builds the patient-facing skills — communication skills, patient counselling (stages, barriers, counselling points for chronic diseases, patient package inserts and information leaflets), medication adherence, health screening services and Over-the-Counter (OTC) medication and responsible self-medication advice for common minor ailments. The management half covers setting up a community pharmacy (legal requirements, site selection, design), procurement and inventory control, financial planning and accountancy (day book, cash book), pharmacy software, Customer Relationship Management, audits, SOPs and an introduction to digital health, mHealth and online pharmacies.
Everything is explained in simple, clear English, keeping a broad, practical subject easy to revise. At a focused 130 pages it covers the full syllabus without unnecessary bulk.
Authored by Dr. Rupesh Soni (Principal & Professor, B.R. Nahata College of Pharmacy, Mandsaur University) and Dr. Narendra Silawat (Professor of Pharmacology), and published by Shree Sai Prakashan, Meerut. Suitable for D.Pharma Second Year students at every PCI-approved institute across India.
