What is required from a pharmacist when prescribing and dispensing drugs?

  1. Ensure the patient does not go to another pharmacy

  2. Provide a written prescription to the patient

  3. Charge the highest possible price

  4. Only prescribe drugs they have in stock

The correct answer is: Provide a written prescription to the patient

Pharmacists are responsible for providing patients with a written prescription for medication. This ensures that the patient has all the necessary information about the prescribed drug, including dosage instructions and potential side effects. Option A is incorrect because patients have the right to choose which pharmacy they go to. Option C is incorrect because pharmacists are required to charge reasonable prices for medication. Option D is incorrect because pharmacists can order drugs from other sources if they do not have them in stock.
