VPIP's Code of Ethics

As a noble profession Pharmacist acts as a key role for the best use of medication by assisting individuals. This Code, prepared and supported by pharmacists, is intended to state publicly the principles that form the fundamental basis of the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists. These principles, based on moral obligations and virtues, are established to guide pharmacists in relationships with patients, health professionals, and society. 

In view of the patient-pharmacist relationship a pharmacist has moral duties in response  to the gift of trust received from society. In return a pharmacist promises to help individual  patient to achieve optimum benefit from their medications, to be committed to their  welfare, and to maintain their trust

A pharmacist should be honest and has a duty to tell the truth and to act with conviction  of conscience. A pharmacist avoids discriminatory practices, behavior or work conditions that impair professional judgment, and actions that compromise dedication to the best  interests of patients. 

 A pharmacist has a responsibility to maintain knowledge and abilities as new medications, devices, and technologies become available and as health information advances for the better patient care.

The primary duty of a pharmacist is to individual patients to give them optimum drug therapy. However, the duties of a pharmacist may at times extend beyond the individual to the community and society. 

A pharmacist always promotes the right of self-determination and recognizes individual self-worth by encouraging patients to participate in decisions about their health. A pharmacist communicates with patients in terms that are understandable. In all cases, a pharmacist respects personal and cultural differences among patients
