But the work of each pharmacy is based on clearly coordinated processes, consisting of separate subsequent events. Before finished drugs and medicine are put on display, they will go a long way of preparation. For sale, first of all you, must form and work out an assortment, identify suppliers, take an order and accept it, label and chip the product, organize proper storage, and only after that correctly arrange a showcase.
