Pharmacy assistants play a vital role in supporting pharmacists by managing inventory, processing prescriptions, providing customer service, and handling administrative tasks. They ensure efficient pharmacy operations by restocking, operating cash registers, and assisting with non-clinical, over-the-counter medication sales under direct supervision.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

• Prescription Processing and Dispensing: Receive, process, and label prescriptions, including entering patient information into the system, and prepare medications for the pharmacist's final verification.
• Customer Service and Care: Greet patients, handle in-person or telephone queries, provide assistance with over-the-counter (OTC) products, and manage medication pick-ups.
• Inventory Management: Monitor stock levels, receive deliveries, restock shelves, check for expired or damaged products, and manage inventory records.
• Administrative Tasks: Maintain patient records, process payments, operate the cash register, and manage insurance paperwork.
• Safety and Compliance: Assist in maintaining a clean, organized, and safe pharmacy environment, following strict health and safety protocols.
