Pharmacists distribute drug medications
prescribed by doctors to patients. Pharmacist are usually responsible for
filling prescriptions, verifying instructions of doctors on the proper amount
of medication to hand out, and check of negative effects of drug combinations
taken by the patient. They also advice and instruct the patients on how and
when to take the medicine, possible side effects of taking the drug, and their
safe use.
Pharmacists are important to the healthcare industry, some work in universities
and pharmaceutical companies where they research and test new medications,
others have their own store and sometimes a chain of pharmacy which makes them
more involve in business activities such as: inventory management,
administrative work to interns, and completion of insurance forms and
collaborate with insurance companies to make sure the patients get their
medicine. Basically, there are two types of pharmacists: clinical pharmacists,
they involve direct patient care and often work in hospitals and other
healthcare settings, and consultant pharmacists, one which give direct advice
to patients, manage their prescriptions and dispense medications; they usually
advise healthcare facilities and insurance providers on improving their
pharmaceutical services
