Think pharmacists just hand you pills? Think again.
They’re doing ALL this while you wait:
Spotting wrong dosages
Catching dangerous drug combos
Explaining how not to mess up your meds
Helping doctors make safer choices
Being your last line of defense before the medicine hits your body
Next time you’re at the pharmacy…
Just say thank you – they might’ve just saved your life.

Pharmacist play a key role in the medical field but often their work goes unnoticed so thanks for the appreciation through your post
Pharmacists are indeed skilled at multitasking, and their responsibilities extend beyond simply dispensing medications. They must carefully verify that the prescribed drug dosage aligns with the prescription, which can be a rather complex undertaking.
Pharmacists do so much more than just give out medicines. They check for errors, catch harmful interactions, and guide you on safe use.
Good to know! 
Proud to agree with your post by being an pharmacy student
Pharmacists do all these and are still not respected and paid enough for their services.
Indeed a heartfelt post. Pharmacists are the professionals that are mostly overlooked. People think that they are only meant to dispense medicines prescribed by the doctors, but it is their diligence, responsiblity, care and compassion that led people to take a medication safely.
True, the role of a Pharmacist is extremely important. Every day, we can imagine, for ample number of patients, they provide the right medicines, they check the expiry dates, they check the dosages mentioned by the doctor and the age/gender of the patient corresponding to that dosage mentioned (to check if that’s appropriate or not), their advices about the prescription with clarity and which drugs not to be taken with that etc and all of these with extreme accuracy. We can say, they often fill in the gaps related to explaining the medications what a doctor may not mention. In rural areas where there’s scarcity of doctors, pharmacists are the most significant contact to whom people can reach for any information related to the drug queries and associated diseases/concerns. Most importantly, these days, when one is suffering from any mental health issue, a pharmacist can easily pick that through their sharp observation and can suggest the right medication to the person with necessary precautions to be taken considering the misuse of psychiatric drugs these days mostly by the youth.
Not at all! Pharmacists do much more than just hand out pills. They check for drug interactions, explain how to take medicines safely, monitor side effects, and guide patients on proper use. They’re key members of the healthcare team who help improve treatment outcomes and patient safety.
Very nicely explained the pharmacist role in different various fields
The explanation by pharmacist about medication also sometimes help patients adhere effectively to treatment.
