Abstract
Abstract This opinion piece argues that the collective knowledge of drugs and medicines, their nature, formulation and manufacture, their delivery and evaluation is unique to pharmacy and it reasserts the fact that science underpins the clinical use of medicines. It argues this from a personal standpoint of an academic pharmaceutical technologist and recounts examples from the author’s own experience.
