Welcome to the Department of Pharmacy

Department of Pharmacy will start admission for Pharm-D Degree program after getting NOC from Pharmacy Council of Pakistan.

Pharmacy is a diverse and multi-disciplinary profession, with opportunities for patient care, scientific research and innovation. The scope of pharmacy profession includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing. It contributes for modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and provision of drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who help optimize rational use of medication for the benefit of the patients.
Pharmacists through their education and training can consider a drug molecule, together with its formulation and its delivery as a medicine. They have an in-depth knowledge of pharmacology and therapeutics, physicochemical properties of drugs and excipients, pharmacokinetics, ADRs, and drug interactions. According to the new WHO concept, Pharmacy is a seven-star profession, defining pharmacist as caregiver, communicator, decision-maker, teacher, life-long learner, leader and manager.

I feel delighted to introduce Department of Pharmacy (DOP), Women University, Multan (WUM). The DOP has well-equipped laboratories, excellent library facility and has proposed a modern infrastructure that includes state-of-the-art laboratories for evaluation of novel targets in diverse research areas of health sciences.
