    This document discusses drug stores and distribution in hospitals. It describes how the pharmacy should be located away from crowded areas and designed with separate areas for receiving, verifying, storing, and issuing drugs. Drugs should be properly received, inspected, stored according to expiration date, and issued only to authorized personnel. Distribution systems aim to provide ready-to-administer drugs in single doses to patient areas, reducing floor stock, with proper documentation and emergency supplies. Common systems include floor stock, individual prescriptions, and unit dose, which packages drugs in single doses for a 24-hour period.
