Pharmacy Department
In the Pharmacy Department, we collaborate with doctors, nurses, and other staff to ensure that drug therapy for each patient is carried out safely and effectively. We play a key role in team medicine by devising dosage forms, selecting storage methods, providing information on the proper use of drugs, and offering medication guidance.
Primary Responsibilities
| Category | Description of Duties |

Cancer Chemotherapy & Regimen Management
Cancer chemotherapy uses anticancer and molecular-targeted drugs. Since side effects are common and errors can be life-threatening, we use “Cancer Chemotherapy Regimens”—a precise chronological plan specifying dosage, speed, and withdrawal periods—to ensure patient safety.
Medication Guidance & Pharmaceutical Management
Pharmacists explain medications to inpatients, check for interactions with home medications, and manage hospital-wide drug inventory and safety procedures. We also monitor narcotics and muscle relaxants used in operating rooms.
