Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to analyze some aspects of the pharmaceutical profession from the point of view of the teaching of the Catholic Church. The teaching of popes in the last fifty years sheds new light on the ethical aspects of the work of a pharmacist. First of all, he is shown as a health care worker, cooperating with others, especially with a doctor, for the sake of the patient's life and health. The pharmacist is endowed with special trust on the part of patients, which should motivate him to constantly care for the responsible performance of duties. The following part of the text presents a panorama of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church on pharmacists and their mission. An important element of the analysis is to show the pharmacist’s concern for human life, especially in the context of a complex discussion about contraceptives and the abortion effect of some of them. The pharmacist’s tasks in the field of patient health and family support are also described.
