prescription counter

Where pharmacists work

The prescription counter is the section of a pharmacy where pharmacists dispense medications that require a doctor's order.

Customers drop off prescriptions and return to pick up filled medications: I'll meet you at the prescription counter after I finish shopping.

Distinguished from areas selling over-the-counter products that don't require a prescription.
