    Legal Minute: Why do pharmacies take so long to fill prescriptions?

    Legal Minute: Why do pharmacies take so long to fill prescriptions?

    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.

    Legal Minute: Are dietary supplements as good as drugs?

    Legal Minute: Are dietary supplements as good as drugs?

    In this video, Darshan distinguishes between dietary supplements and drugs. The 
    primary difference lies in the claims they can make. Dietary supplements are treated as foods and can only make limited claims, such as improving health or well-being. In contrast, drugs undergo rigorous FDA approvals and trials to make claims of curing, treating, preventing, or mitigating diseases. While there may not be much difference chemically, the key distinction is in the level of proof required for their claims. Darshan highlights that drugs may have once been dietary supplements but must meet higher evidentiary standards.
