How To Set Up A Patent Medicine (Chemist) Store In Nigeria

Patent Medicine Store A patent medicine store popularly known as a chemist is a store that stock and sell over the counter (O.T.C) drugs. However, patent medicine stores are not supposed to be called chemist. Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (P.C.N) at such capacity approves them to operate within the shores of the country.  Patent stores are managed, not by the pharmacist but by individuals who feel the need to serve the nation in such capacity.

GLT 303 LECTURE NOTE

INCUBATOR In biology, an incubator is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside. Incubators are essential for a lot of experimental work in cell biology, microbiology and molecular biology and are used to culture both bacterial as well as eukaryotic cells. The simplest incubators are insulated boxes with an adjustable heater, typically going up to 60 to 65 °C (140 to 150 °F), though some can go slightly higher (generally to no more than 100 °C). The most commonly used temperature both for bacteria such as the frequently used E. coli as well as for mammalian cells is approximately 37 °C (99 °F), as these organisms grow well under such conditions. For other organisms used in biological experiments, such as the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a growth temperature of 30 °C (86 °F) is optimal....

PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMME

Pharmaceutical Technology is a course offered by some monotechnics or polytechnics in Nigeria. It is related to pharmacy. They are not regulated by Pharmacists Council Of Nigeria (PCN), and they are not a pharmacist. The academic regulation of pharmaceutical technology is done (NAPPTON) although PCN has attempted to bring them under its umbrella, which failed.

That is why I step out to clarify who a PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY is to Nigerians. PHARMACY TECHNICIAN Sandwich Program For Re-certification By Pharmacists Council Of Nigeria Academic requirements For OND Programme Just as was stated earlier, some polytechnics run this course under Ordinary National Diploma (O.N.D) and Higher National Diploma (H.N.D).
