When people are given a prescription from a doctor or other medical professional, they take it to a pharmacist to be filled. Pharmacists are responsible for ensuring that patients are given the correct medications at the correct times, and that the patients are aware of how to take them properly. Pharmacists also rely on pharmaceutical aides and technicians to help them better serve the public. Aides will be asked to help maintain proper medical records, to label and organize medications, and to fill prescriptions under the advisement of a licensed pharmacist. Aides usually work in retail pharmacy locations, but they can also find employment in hospitals and long term care facilities.
