About PharmaWallah
Built by pharmacy students, for pharmacy students.
We are 18 students sitting the same Pharm-D papers as the people who use this site. Every calculator, lesson and lab here started as something one of us needed before an exam.
Our story
One place to find it, and work it out.
We were never short of study material. We were short of one place to put it.
The formula was on a photocopied handout, the worked example in a senior’s notebook, and the slide you had to identify nowhere at all. We lost more evenings finding things than learning them.
So we started collecting — first for ourselves, then for our year. It is free, it needs no account, and it is written and checked by the students on this page.
It is a study aid, not clinical advice: prepared by the PharmaWallah student team, so verify results with your textbook or instructor. Every calculator carries an educational-use notice. How we write and check our content.

How it works
Who runs PharmaWallah, and how we check it.
Who runs it
PharmaWallah is run by the pharmacy students listed below, as an independent student project. Our postal address is the Department of Pharmacy, University of Karachi, Pakistan.
How content is written and checked
The team writes the calculators, guides and notes. Formulas are compared with the textbook or guideline cited on the page, and every worked example is recalculated independently before it is published. Where a person has reviewed a page, the page names them; where nobody has yet, it says so. Editorial policy
Reporting an error
Every calculator, guide and lesson has a “Report an error” link that opens the contact form with the page already named. We check each report against the cited source and correct the page.
