The work of a pharmacist in a pharmacy: the characteristics of the profession
A pharmacist working in a pharmacy should, not onlyrelease drugs and count buyers, but also have a good understanding of the drugs sold. Do not forget that some types of pharmacological products are not allowed to be sold without a prescription. Another common situation - the buyer comes to the pharmacy and asks: "Give me something from the head." The pharmacist should not only pick up a suitable remedy for the described symptoms, but also try to convince the client to consult a doctor, especially if the situation is serious. As for responsibility, here everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Many medicines are of high cost, and even if you work honestly and accurately, there is a high risk that colleagues from another shift will not be the same.
