Pharmacy dispensing is the process of preparing and providing medications to patients based on prescriptions from healthcare providers. Pharmacists review the prescription for accuracy, check for potential drug interactions, and ensure the correct dosage is provided. This step is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment. Once the medication is prepared, pharmacists label the medication with important information, including dosage instructions and potential side effects. They also counsel patients on how to take their medications properly, answering any questions to ensure understanding. This role is essential in promoting safe and effective use of medications.
