    • Life Sciences

Have you ever wondered why your prescription takes what feels like an eternity to fill at the pharmacy? Darshan will shed some light on the process. 

When you drop off your prescription, the pharmacist isn't just mindlessly grabbing bottles from shelves. They're meticulously reviewing your medication to ensure it's the right fit for your condition, checking for potential interactions with other drugs or even your diet, and making sure it's covered by your insurance.

This detailed process, while aided by computer systems, often requires a human touch and can take some time. And remember, you're not the only one waiting for their medication – there's a queue of patients with prescriptions to fill.

So next time you're twiddling your thumbs in the pharmacy waiting area, remember that your pharmacist is doing their best to ensure your health and safety.
