Hi dear,
Hope you are doing well!
Now let's go through your question.
As you will be knowing that Pharmacists in India work in community and/or Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) dispensaries, in both private and public hospitals, as well as in retail pharmacies.
Yes it is definitely a good career options.
The salary for pharmacists varies based on experience and location, but the minimum startup salary for a pharmacist who has just finished his/her training is generally about Rs. 25,000.
Government hospital salaries start at Rs. 5000; medical representatives about Rs 5000 to Rs. 10000, not to mention incentives; lab researchers may command between Rs. 15000 to Rs. 40000 a month. Manufacturing units are paid in handsome figures.
Thank You & All the best!
Yes, of course becoming a pharmacist is a good choice.
but there two scenarios after u become a pharmacist
1)PHARMACIST IN INDIA ;-
Pharmacist in India is nothing more than a COMPOUNDER ( he/she reads the prescription and dispenses the required medicines to the patient from pharmacy) .Also he sometimes have to tell how administer the drug ,time of drug administration and frequency , precaution are also told sometimes . SO, THIS IS THE JOB OF PHARMACIST IN INDIA BUT EARN A PRETTY WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY DUE HIGH MARGIN IN CASE OF MEDICINES.
Moreover all the pharmacy that is community pharmacy(run in society like u might have visited the one in your society),hospital pharmacy (pharmacy setup in the hospital itself ,which u might have seen in combination with the hospital only and clinical pharmacist (provide healthcare treatment and other remedies ) are same in India .
SO,IN INDIA BECOMING A PHARMACIST IS NOT A VERY GOOD CHOICE
2)PHARMACIST IN ABROAD:-
In abroad the scenario is opposite .HERE THE PHARMACIST HAVE A RIGHT TO PRESCRIBE A MEDICINE LIKE A DOCTOR PRESCRIBES IN INDIA .
Hence u are treated as a doctor in abroad after becoming pharmacist and u will earn a decent amount of money (around $ 50–60/hr) . But its not a easy task to become a pharmacist in abroad as u have to crack the respective entrance exams of the country in which u want to go.
SO ITS YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE THE DECISION AND HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPED YOU.
