A normal day consists of talking to people about making healthy choices, and what medicines to use together, or what not to use together. If a patient needs help with using a medicine such as an inhaler, the Pharmacist will help. Another very common task is prescribing medicine, and administering medications. Pharmacists quite often keep track of pill inventory, and patient prescriptions.
