I obtain the necessary information in order to fill new prescriptions and help answer questions. These are pharmacy reference books. The pharmacist uses them to look up information on specific drugs for their side effects, chemical composition, interactions with other drugs, and other information she might need to know. This is a mortar and pestle, also known as a crucible. Pharmacists use this when making a compound.
Compounds are medications specially made from scratch.
Pills are crushed up using the pestle. The grit of the mortar allows the pills to be finely ground. The other ingredients of the compound are added and mixed inside the mortar. This is a weights and measures set. It is used to determine the weight of a substance for use in a compound.
