As you may have realized, pursuing a B.Pharm degree is not easy. Many people initially choose it as just one option, but later they discover how much studying is involved. Your B.Pharm course is divided into 8 semesters. In the first semester, you have to study a total of 6 subjects, of which 4 are compulsory. Those who passed their intermediate exams with Biology have to study Remedial Mathematics, and those who passed with Mathematics have to study Remedial Biology.
B.Pharm is a professional course, and if you understand it carefully, it’s a very important part of the medical field. From manufacturing medicines to dispensing them, all of that is our responsibility. Pharmacists don’t just give patients medicine; they also explain how to take it, what its benefits are, and what the potential side effects are.
