Who is a "pharmacist"?
A pharmacist is a healthcare professional who specializes in providing medications prescribed by doctors and offering advice on their safe and effective use. They fill prescriptions, guide patients on proper medication usage and potential side effects, and work together with healthcare providers to ensure the best possible patient care. Pharmacists also play a crucial role in medication management, including understanding how different medications may affect each other, making dosage adjustments, and medication therapy management.
