title: [The proposal for community pharmacist activity from a viewpoint of science history].
abstract: Community pharmacists have many kinds of problems for demonstrating their ability and activity. One of them is to realize the professional activity. At present, I am afraid that such community professional activities might be for now confined to legal extension. I would therefore like to discuss the aspect of professional centrifugal practice in community health care system under the pharmaceutical law system. Secondly, the role of pharmacists in drug sale comprises advising and controlling medication that we call "Application Pharmacy" in which individual pharmacokinetics and susceptivities have to be considered. The Application Pharmacy will be established in the community medical health care system for new pharmacist's activity. The Application Pharmacy should be a requirement for community pharmacists and lead to a notion of "Community Pharmacy Therapeutics."].
