Regardless of the setting, technicians help provide medication and other healthcare products to patients. Pharmacy techs usually perform routine tasks to help prepare prescribed medication for patients, such as counting tablets and labeling bottles.Technicians working in pharmacies have some, most, or all of the following responsibilities, depending on state regulations. Technicians will receive prescription requests/refills from patients, as well as prescriptions sent from doctor's offices.
