dispensing

Dispensing is the process of preparing and giving out medication to a patient based on a doctor's prescription. It involves interpreting the prescription, ensuring the correct medication, dosage, and instructions, and then accurately measuring or packaging the medication. Pharmacists also provide important information about how to take the medication safely and answer any questions. Essentially, dispensing bridges the gap between prescribing and patient use, ensuring that individuals receive the right medication in the correct form, which is crucial for effective treatment and safety.
