bookIntroduction to pandas for Pharmacy

When working with pharmaceutical data, it is essential to organize and analyze information efficiently. The pandas library is a powerful tool in Python designed for handling tabular data, which is common in pharmacy settings. Imagine managing a drug inventory: you need to keep track of drug names, their strengths, and current stock levels. Using pandas, you can represent this information as a DataFrame—a structured table that makes it easy to view, manipulate, and analyze your data. This approach is particularly useful for pharmacists who must manage large inventories, monitor stock levels, and quickly assess which medications need reordering.

import pandas as pd

# Create a DataFrame with sample medication data
medications = [
    {"Drug": "Amoxicillin", "Strength": "500mg", "Stock": 25},
    {"Drug": "Lisinopril", "Strength": "10mg", "Stock": 8},
    {"Drug": "Metformin", "Strength": "500mg", "Stock": 15},
    {"Drug": "Atorvastatin", "Strength": "20mg", "Stock": 5},
    {"Drug": "Ibuprofen", "Strength": "200mg", "Stock": 50}
]

inventory_df = pd.DataFrame(medications)
print(inventory_df)
copy

Using a DataFrame offers several advantages for pharmacy inventory management. With pandas, you can easily filter the table to identify medications that are running low, sort drugs by strength or name, and summarize stock levels for quick decision-making. These features help you maintain an efficient workflow, reduce the risk of stockouts, and ensure that patients receive the medications they need without delay. By leveraging pandas, you gain the ability to analyze complex datasets with simple, readable code, which is a significant improvement over managing data in spreadsheets or handwritten logs.
