Do You Know

  • Both fields of pharmaceutical formulation and therapeutics are steadily advancing and getting increasingly more complex
  • Nigeria and most other countries are adopting INN as the standard drug nomenclature – “One Drug One Name” as the global norm
  • INN Stem is the key for unlocking the hidden meanings of most drug names
  • ATC classification system has become the gold standard in drug utilization study, etc.

As pharmacists, we need to stay on top of these developments and broaden our practice opportunities within & outside Nigeria

  1. I took the pre test and I found out we as Pharmacists need the course to be able to know most drugs we come across in our practices and their nomenclatures.However I advise it is made virtual so that people outside Lagos can also enroll and participate. Thanks

    1. Hello, and thank you for the feedback!
      Sure, we will look into the virtual option for a later date and will keep you posted

  2. It is a good training for all pharmacists .
    I suggest that the organisers do a virtual training, some pharmacists cannot leave their establishments due to the volume of work and to also accommodate those who do not leave in lagos.

  3. Pls let’s explore the enabling opportunity that virtual training has to offer in this time and age. I won’t be able to get permission, that’s for sure. The casual leave I took few weeks back, or I thought I was able to get for a Vaccinology hands-on training, I am still suffering the nasty aftermath of that at my place of work till date.

  4. Thank you for the training.

    I look forward to the virtual session as you’ve responded to a previous comment.

    Also, please look into the possibility of having some of these in-person trainings in locations outside Lagos.

    Also make it affordable too to cover logistics so we can benefit.

    I’m in Abuja.
