Hello,
what are the pharmacist duties? I have been to pharmacy near our home and I have seen a pharmacist answering phone, refilling medication, looking up the computer for orders.
What other things beside those pharmacists perform on daily basis? Do they mix chemical to make medicine? Sorry if I am wrong but please correct me and explain it to me as much as possible.

Thanks to all of you

We take the pills from the big bottle and put them in the little bottle - 5 at a time!

And then we lick the label and put it on the little bottle so very carefully!

Don't forget that sometimes you count out the moneys and push buttons.

In all seriousness for typical community pharmacy most of your time will be spent verifying prescriptions making sure everything is filled right and doing a quick DUR. You'll spend time answering the phone when people call with questions, counselling patients, giving immunizations (tons during flu season), supervising and managing technicians/workflow, doing inventory (usually CII inventory), counting and dispensing CII (depending on your pharmacy's policy, some places only let the pharmacist do that), occasionally counting pills, working the register, doing order entry, etc. You do a lot, but the bulk of it is prescription verification and medication counselling.

At my store we actually have to go open the restroom doors for them, and that's like freaking every 5 minutes or so!
