prescription filling
Getting medicine ready
Prescription filling is the process of preparing and dispensing medication based on a doctor's written order.
A pharmacist reviews the prescription, measures or counts the medication, labels the container, and hands it to the patient.
I'll pick up my prescription filling while I'm out.
The phrase often appears in contexts about wait times or pharmacy services.
