The department of finished dosage forms is the retail sale of finished medicines according to doctors' prescriptions to patients.

The workplace is organized in the sales area of the pharmacy. The area of the department, the available equipment and facilities comply with current building codes, technical and economic equipment standards.

The equipment and equipment of workplaces in a pharmacy depends on the volume of work of the pharmacy. The prescription and dispensing workplace is usually isolated from visitors, although modern equipment does not always provide for such isolation. At this workplace it is installed standard equipment, which includes a sectional table, cabinets for storing medicines, turntables for storing manufactured dosage forms.

In addition, the workplace for receiving and dispensing prescriptions is equipped with a refrigerator for storing thermolabile medications, a cabinet for storing poisonous and potent medications, as well as a computer. Currently, many pharmacies are equipped with automated workstations - prescription workstations. It is quite well suited to speed up the sales process using barcoding.

Workplaces are equipped in accordance with the nature of the work performed. At the same time, following rules:

There should be no items in the workplace that are not required during work;

Each item must have permanent place; - all objects frequently used in work should be on the floor by hand

The workplace for receiving and dispensing medications must be equipped with the necessary reference literature, in particular - the latest edition of the State Pharmacopoeia, tables of highest single and daily doses, literature on compatibility and interactions of drugs, orders of the Ministry of Health regulating the acceptance and dispensing of prescriptions and drugs according to them .

There are also reference books of medicines, including Vidal and Mashkovsky, State Register Medicines, price tables, tariffs for the manufacture of medicines, accounting documents, in particular a prescription journal or receipt journal and a journal for recording incorrect prescriptions. In addition, there must be labels and signatures at the workplace for taking and dispensing medicines.

Placing and displaying goods on shelves and racks. Important role In the sale of goods, their location on shelves and racks plays a role. Products can be placed at floor, hand and eye level (hand and eye level is best), in groups or individually.

When placing goods, it is important to follow a number of rules:

The normal field of view of a person is about 2 m, the human eye moves more easily from left to right and from top to bottom, as when reading, so eye contact buyers with certain parts of the display cases is quite constant and depends on the direction of movement and the height of the shelves.

Products should be laid out in blocks by brand, packaging and product group. Availability of a wide range of products a separate type product allows you to more fully take into account individual consumer preferences (for example, the presence in the assortment acetylsalicylic acid various manufacturers, with different price ranges and dosage forms, in different dosage etc.). A specific product unit with characteristics unique to it (manufacturer, price, dosage, packaging, dosage form, etc.) is also called packaging.

Shelf space must be distributed adequately to sales and profits brought by individual brands and their types. To do this, it is necessary to allocate the maximum shelf space to the most profitable products and place them first in the direction of the consumer flow, then place profitable products and complete the series with running gear.

The display should organize the borrowing of popularity by weaker goods from stronger ones. To do this, strong product types begin and end the row on the shelf. Thus, weak products, less familiar to consumers, will be located within the “castle walls” organized by strong products, and will borrow additional buyer attention from them. To correctly determine which drugs and other products pharmacy assortment and in what quantities are needed to uninterruptedly meet the needs of customers, you need to analyze the assortment and in each group highlight: popular goods (inexpensive, most popular in great demand Medicines - analgin, corvalol, citramon, etc.); profitable products (due to high cost contribute to the organization's income - some biologically active additives for food); the most profitable goods (despite the relatively high price they are in great demand - no-shpa, essentiale, etc.); ballast (demand is low, due to the low cost the income is also small).

The product must be laid out “trademark first”, i.e. all over-the-counter drugs and other pharmacy products must be placed front side packaging to the buyer. At the same time, the packaging should look perfect.

Familiarization with the inventory department, the structure, equipment and equipment of material rooms, the rights and responsibilities of inventory department employees.

The inventory department receives and stores goods arriving at the pharmacy, releases them to pharmacy departments, small retail pharmacy chains and medical institutions supplied by the pharmacy.

Storing inventory requires various premises; material rooms on the first and basement floors and rooms for the production of in-pharmacy preparations and packaging of medicines.

To carry out tasks of supplying the population and medical institutions, the pharmacy receives inventory items from the pharmacy warehouse of the management pharmacies. To receive goods from the warehouse, the pharmacy issues planned requirements (orders) to the sales department or to the sales department of the pharmacy department (a sample requirement is presented in Table 7), taking into account the needs of the population and attached medical institutions, as well as in accordance with the approved delivery plan goods and established standards.

When issuing requirements (orders), the requests of the population are taken into account. For this purpose, failures are recorded in a special journal “Recording of Failures”.

In material rooms, both finished dosage forms and medications used for the manufacture of drugs are stored. Therefore, the equipment is represented mainly by cabinets. They are made from durable wood because they have to withstand heavy loads. The shelves are made wide and thick. Lignostone or veneer veneer is used as a finishing material. In other cases, for hygienic purposes, cabinets and shelves are painted with light oil paint.

The responsibilities of the department include accepting prescriptions from the population and requests from medical institutions, manufacturing and dispensing medications according to them. The department includes a prescription room (where prescriptions are accepted and drugs are dispensed), an assistant room where drugs are prepared, and an aseptic room for the production of sterile drugs. In the absence of an aseptic room, the production of sterile drugs is carried out in an insulated glass cabin (box) located in the assistant's room, or in a specially designed box - a desktop box, placed on the assistant's table.

Pharmacy - special specialized organization healthcare systems engaged in the manufacture, packaging, analysis and sale of medicines.

Production - in industrial pharmacies there are production premises (assistant, washing, distillation (coctoria), boxes, etc.), where medicines are manufactured and a sales area. Pharmacists and pharmacists can prepare medications according to prescriptions and prescriptions from doctors, under the supervision of a pharmacist-technologist and a pharmacist-analyst. The latter conducts high-quality and quantitative analysis prepared forms. Several decades ago, in the assistant’s room there were places for the production of soft (ointments, suppositories), liquid (potions, solutions) and solid (powders) forms. Eye drops and injection solutions are prepared under aseptic boxing conditions.

pharmacy medicinal official scales

The composition, area, layout and equipment of pharmacy premises are determined by the volume of work and production activities of the pharmacy. The minimum area of the pharmacy is 90 sq.m. As the pharmacy develops, its area must correspond to the volume and nature of the work performed. The composition of the premises and equipment of the pharmacy is determined taking into account the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and SNiP.

The minimum composition of a pharmacy premises includes: a sales area, a room for preparing medicines, a room for obtaining distilled water, a washing room, a manager’s office, a staff room, a room for storing medicines, a toilet, a dressing room.

Pharmacy departments and their functions

Depending on the size of the annual turnover of state and municipal pharmacies, they are divided into five groups according to the remuneration of administrative and business personnel. It also depends on the amount of work organizational structure pharmacies, that is, the number of departments in them. Thus, in industrial pharmacies with a large annual turnover (first group in terms of wages), it is possible to open four departments, namely:

- Inventory department (functions: determining the current need for medicines and products medical purposes, timely submission of orders for them, acceptance of goods in terms of quantity and quality, ensuring proper storage, organizing subject-quantitative accounting, carrying out laboratory and packaging work, releasing goods to other separate departments structural divisions, medical and preventive institutions;
- Prescription and production department (functions: accepting prescriptions for extemporaneous drugs, manufacturing and registration of drugs, monitoring their quality, dispensing drugs);
- Department of finished dosage forms (functions: receiving prescriptions for finished pharmaceutical and industrial medicines and dispensing them);
- Over-the-counter sales department (functions: sales of over-the-counter medicines, as well as medical products).

In pharmacies with a smaller volume of work (second and third wage groups), it is possible to organize two departments. In this case, depending on the specifics of the work, the probable options are:

a) the inventory department and the prescription and production department, finished dosage forms and over-the-counter sales;
b) a prescription and production department with inventories and a department of finished dosage forms and over-the-counter sales;
c) department of prescription and production, stocks and finished dosage forms and department of over-the-counter sales.

In other industrial pharmacies (fourth and fifth wage groups) there are no departments.

It must be emphasized that in pharmacies of finished dosage forms with a large volume of work (the first and second groups), it is possible to organize only two departments: the department for dispensing finished dosage forms according to doctors’ prescriptions and the over-the-counter sales department.

In pharmacies, there are production and service premises. A production pharmacy is a room designed for the manufacture, packaging, dispensing, control and storage of medicines. These include: a service room, an assistant room, a packaging room, a distillation room, a washing room, a coctorium (room for the production of aqueous extracts from plant materials), a sterilization room, and a pharmacist-analyst’s office. material rooms, a room for serving the population at night, and the like.

The placement of production premises should exclude counter flows technological process manufacturing of medicines under aseptic conditions and non-sterile medicines.

The public service hall and material rooms are equipped with special furniture, which is approved for storing medicines and medical products.

The premises for the production of non-sterile medicines are equipped with special production equipment and instruments. In this room it is allowed to organize a workplace for monitoring the quality and packaging of medicines.

The room for receiving purified water is equipped with equipment, capacity for receiving and storing water. The production of water for injection is carried out in a separate room of the aseptic unit, where it is strictly forbidden to perform any work that is not related to the production of water for injection.

The room for storing supplies of medicines is equipped with racks, cabinets, a refrigerator and other equipment in order to ensure storage conditions for poisonous, narcotic, psychotropic, potent, flammable, thermolabile and other medicines, medicinal plant materials, medical products in accordance with current requirements.

A pharmacy office space is a room for administrative and business functions. These include: the manager’s office, accounting, staff room, dressing room, toilet (dressing room), shower room, staff training room, cleaning room, etc.

The staff room must be equipped with a refrigerator to organize food consumption, as well as staff rest.

The premises and equipment of the dressing room must ensure the safety of personal and technological clothing in accordance with the requirements of the sanitary and epidemiological regime of pharmacies.

Trading hall. The minimum size of the sales area is 20 square meters. m. In the sales area, depending on the volume of work of the pharmacy, workplaces must be equipped for receiving prescriptions, dispensing manufactured and finished drugs according to prescriptions, dispensing drugs and medical products without prescriptions. Each workplace is equipped with a prefabricated sectional table, which has drawers for storing current supplies of medicines and other pharmaceutical products. There should be a glass window with a transfer window on the front side of each table.

According to the rules, there is a book of reviews and suggestions in the sales area, and advertisements are posted. Copies of the license and the following information must be posted:

- on priority services for disabled people and WWII participants;
- about the shelf life of medicines prepared in a pharmacy;
- about the work of the duty administrator;
- about the hours of reception of the population by the director of the pharmacy;
- about the information desk;
- about supervisory and control authorities;
- about employees serving visitors, indicating their last name, middle name and position.

At the pharmacy with minimum size the trading floor may have one workplace. Payment for the cost of medicines by the population must be carried out through a cash register.

The area of the room for preparing medicines must be at least 15 sq.m. and is equipped with special pharmacy furniture, instruments, equipment for the preparation, mixing, filtering, packaging, labeling, packaging and capping of medicines, as well as safes for storing poisonous and narcotic medicines, ethyl alcohol, rods, means of measuring weight, volume, specific gravity, reagents for chemical control of drugs.

In the room for the preparation of medicines, workplaces should be organized for the preparation and quality control of medicines. Depending on the volume of work and the increase in the area of the assistant’s room, specialized workplaces for the production of various dosage forms can be created.

The production of medicines requires the most favorable sanitary and hygienic conditions. Penetration of dust, microorganisms, cold air currents, noise, etc. from the street. will inevitably affect the health of workers and the quality of medicinal products. Therefore, when planning and constructing pharmacies, much attention is paid to entrances through which various contaminants and cold air can enter the pharmacy.

Pharmacies have two entrances: for visitors and staff and for receiving goods. The entrance for visitors to pharmacies of categories 1 and 2 must have two doors, and in pharmacies of categories 3 and 4 - one single door with a width of at least 0.9 m. The door for the service entrance and receiving goods must be 1.2 m wide.

The entrance for visitors is equipped with a vestibule that acts as a protective barrier. The doors in the vestibule should be located at an angle to each other so that the cold air has time to warm up before it enters the sales area. If there is an air thermal curtain in the vestibule, the usual arrangement of doors is possible: one door against the other. The temperature of the supplied air should be within 30-35°C.

The minimum area of the room for obtaining distilled water is 5 sq.m. Its equipment must ensure compliance with the sanitary requirements of the pharmacy and it is prohibited to carry out other work not related to the distillation of water. The premises must be equipped with devices for receiving and containers for storing distilled water in accordance with the current rules for the sanitary regime of pharmacies. The area of the autoclave is at least 10 square meters.

If there is no separate room, it is necessary to isolate the receiver for distilled water so that dust and microorganisms from the air do not enter it. This is achieved by placing the receiver in a glass box, painted inside and out with white oil paint.

To additionally protect the distilled water from contamination by volatile substances, there are several devices: a glass cap with a glass tube that is connected to the refrigerator, a special sulfuric acid protective lock attached to the receiver, a stopper with a calcium chloride tube attached to the condenser.

Some pharmacies have special installations for automatically supplying distilled water through a glass or polyethylene pipeline directly to assistant tables. This eliminates the need to manually deliver distilled water to work sites and eliminates the risk of contamination. To disinfect water, individual sections of the pipeline are mounted from quartz glass tubes, through which the water is irradiated with a bactericidal lamp.

The washing room has a minimum area of 5 sq.m. Its equipment must ensure compliance with the sanitary requirements of pharmacies. In the washing room there should be designated and marked sinks for washing dishes intended for the preparation of dosage forms:

- injection solutions and eye drops;
- intravenous;
- external.

Premises for storing stocks of medicines and medical products must have a minimum area of at least 36 sq.m. and are equipped with racks, cabinets and other necessary equipment to ensure the safety of poisonous, narcotic, potent, flammable, thermolabile and other medicines, medicinal plant raw materials, medical products in accordance with their physical and chemical properties. Subject to separate financial liability, each pharmacy department must have one or more such premises.

The procedure for storing medicines and medical products is regulated by Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated November 13, 1996 No. 377.
