The pharmacist’s role is expanding beyond the traditional
product-oriented functions of dispensing, compounding, and
distributing medicines and health supplies. The pharmacist’s
services of today include more patient-oriented, administrative,
and public health functions. Community pharmacy, public
health, and social aspects of pharmacy practice are gaining
greater importance. Realizing the increasing role of DPharm
students in public health programs and appreciating the social
aspect of the pharmaceutical profession, the Pharmacy Council
of India (PCI) revised its curriculum for DPharm and notified
the Pharmacy Regulation, 2020. The PCI has prescribed the
subject ‘Social Pharmacy’ for students of Diploma in Pharmacy
(Course Code: ER20-15T) in place of ‘Community Pharmacy
and Health Education’ prescribed in the earlier education
regulations. The ‘Social pharmacy’ course is designed to impart
basic knowledge on public health, epidemiology, preventive
care, and other social health-related concepts and to emphasize
the roles of pharmacists in public health programs.
We have already published the book Social and Preventive
Pharmacy for BPharm students, which is quite popular amongst
students as well as teachers. The book, Community Pharmacy
and Health Education for DPharm, by Prof NK Jain has been a
popular text for over two decades.
The current book Social Pharmacy has been written as per
the PCI syllabus for the students of Diploma in Pharmacy.
Simple and easy language is the outstanding feature of the
book, which is well illustrated with figures, and tables and
presents the most up-to-date information as per the prescribed
modules.
We will appreciate the feedback and suggestions from the
students and teachers for further improvement of the book.

Introduction, basic terminologies, importance of
Pharmacoeconomics
Providing quality medicines at affordable prices is the most
important social obligation of pharmacists, the pharmaceutical
industry as well as governments in every democratic country.
Medicines have an enormous impact on the health of users.
Overuse and misuse of medicines can be dangerous for the
health of the population. So a clear understanding of the impact
of medicines on the health of users is very much required. This
establishes the role of pharmaceuticals and the pharmaceutical
industry in modern life.
Social pharmacy has contributed much to the knowledge of
the needs of patients and society and helps in getting the most
effective, safest, and cheapest drugs.
DEFINITION OF SOCIAL PHARMACY
Social pharmacy is a multidisciplinary field, which deals with
social aspects of the pharmacy practice. It focuses on the
provision, regulation, and utilization of medicines by both
consumers and healthcare professionals. Within social
pharmacy, the drug sector is studied from the social, scientific
and humanistic perspectives. It consists of all the social factors
that influence medicine use, such as medicine and health-
related beliefs, attitudes, rules, relationships, and processes.
Social pharmacy is founded on the principles of social science
and organizational theory. Key components in social pharmacy
are marketing, distribution, communication, compliance (the
extent to which patients follow instructions as agreed),
economics, monitoring (control and supervision), and the

individualization of drug use. The knowledge gained in social
pharmacy is essential to bridge the clinical and fundamental
knowledge taught to the pharmacists, as illustrated in Fig. 1.1.
The aim is to make a competent pharmacist who is capable of
integrating his knowledge and social/communication skills to
improve patient behavior, treatment outcomes, and disease
management. There is a correlation between whether the
patients take their medicines and their beliefs about their health,
medications, socio-demographic factors, and health literacy.
An understanding of social sciences can help us to understand
these relationships and to develop more appropriate responses
to enhancing medicines-related outcomes. Furthermore, an
understanding of social sciences is also helping us to
understand how healthcare is delivered and the impact that
this has on other health outcomes.

and social sciences
Scope of Social Pharmacy
From Fig. 1.1 it can be said that the scope of social pharmacy is
broad. It is linked to the health system. It focuses on the
application of pharmacy practice to the society. The main
scope of social pharmacy includes the following:
1. It focuses on the proper use of medicine in patients and
community to improve the overall health of a community.
2. It enables the pharmacy profession to take responsibility
for drug matters at a societal level.
