Pharmacist: A professional who fills prescriptions, and in the case of a compounding pharmacist, makes them. Pharmacists are familiar with medication ingredients, interactions, cautions, and hints.

Pharmacists are thus trained to prepare and distribute medicines and to give information about them.
