Description
The Pharmacist reviews, interprets, and dispenses both prescription and non-prescription medication to patients, ensuring accuracy and evaluating ingredient suitability. They advise on drug interactions, side effects, dosages, and proper medication storage. In a retail community setting, they counsel patients on medication administration and monitor health progress. In a medical center or institutional setting, pharmacists interpret provider orders, provide drug information, assist in problem-solving, and offer pharmaceutical care across various specialties. They must stay updated with evolving technology and supervise pharmacy staff.
