pharmacist
Medication counter professional
A pharmacist is a professional who prepares and dispenses medications.
Pharmacists work in drugstores, hospitals, and clinics, filling prescriptions, advising patients on drug interactions and side effects, and recommending over-the-counter treatments.
The role has shifted from compounding medicines by hand to primarily verifying and dispensing manufactured drugs: Ask the pharmacist if this will interact with your other medication.
