As a pharmacist you will be responsible for preparing and administering appropriate pharmaceuticals to patients. You will achieve this either by executing a physician's order or by addressing the patient's problems and needs. The job entails a high level of responsibility and knowledge.

The pharmacist must be fully qualified to interpret symptoms so that the patient can either be given immediate treatment for a trifling condition or to be referred to the suitable doctor. Pharmacists must be able to provide professional advice on cosmetics or parapharmaceuticals. The goal is to ensure effective medication use and become the people's trusted ally against health issues.
