Pharmacy is a health profession related to the manufacture and distribution

of medicinal products, these are published by seniors and science from natural or

making potio.
B. Purpose of Study

1. Students are able to know and understand potio preparations.

2. Students are able to know how to use potio preparations.

3. Students are able to know and understand how to make potio

preparations.

C. Benefit of Study

The benefits of this practicum are students can know and understand how

to mix or make preparations corectly and underrstand about everythings that we

need to be considered during the process of making preparations and how to store

include : medicinal ingredients / active ingredients, solvent, buuffer, sweetener,

preservative, distilled water. Potiones are intended to be drunk, mixed and

formulated in such a way that it is possible to administer them in large volumes of

a single dose, generally 50 ml.
