    Industrial pharmacists work in technical areas like research, development, production and quality control, as well as non-technical areas such as marketing and administration. They discover new drugs, develop effective formulations, and market finished products. In research, pharmacists rigorously test drug concentration, impurity levels, and stability to find the most effective formulation. Some specialize in large-scale manufacturing, using good management and communication skills. Pharmacists also work in quality control, assessing processes, materials, shelf life, and stability through testing. They liaise with regulatory agencies and audit quality control results. The Philippine drug industry began in 1900 and major companies established local operations from the 1930s-2000s.

    • medicine formulation
    Role of Pharmacy
    In research and development, in order to find the most effective
    formulation of a medicine, industrial pharmacists have to
    rigorously check the concentration, impurity levels and
    stability of products i.e. “product development” –
    preparing of drugs in dosage forms.
    Role of Pharmacy
    • Some industrial pharmacists specialize in manufacturing
    and production. They set up and standardize the processes

    establish the shelf life and stability of a medicine.
