Pharmacists play several crucial roles:
- Dispensing medications and administering vaccinations to patients;
- Consulting with other members of the healthcare team to recommend the most appropriate treatments for their patients; and
- Educating both patients and the community about best practices when it comes to health and wellness.
Pharmacists don’t just dispense prescriptions; they’re experts in medication, from common prescriptions all the way up to the newest drugs on the market. Pharmacists help inform patients about possible side effects, help customers select and provide counsel on the proper use of over-the-counter medications, and interact with physicians and health insurance companies on behalf of the patient.
