I'm sorry, what?? Are you leaving something out, or was the pharmacist mixing their own samples?

In the US, most retail pharmacists do little compounding. They mostly check for drug interactions (since most prescribers don't talk to each other unless you're a patient of a holistic care team) and make sure the techs and the software don't screw up.

The joke is that most pills are dispensed in multiples of 30.
