Abstract:

The present paper aimed to research the actual preparations in the community pharmacies of Cluj-Napoca, the amount and frequency of their preparation. The study implied the observation of 10 community pharmacies for 18 months between 1 January 2006 – 30 June 2007.

The number of types of preparations (formulations) in the pharmacies under observation has been 40. Regarding the diversity of preparations, the pharmacy on the first place has
