How do the roles of a pharmacist and a doctor differ with regard to their accountabilities?

<p dir="ltr">The summary of the differences is as follows: A doctor is responsible for the diagnosis of the disease, the nature of the treatment plan, and prescribing the medication. The pharmacist is responsible for the preparation and dispensing of a medication, giving directions for use, identifying how the medications should be safely used, providing oversight for possible adverse reactions, and monitoring for adverse effects of the treatment often while counseling the patient.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">&lt;a href="https://www.shiksha.com/medicine-health-sciences/pharmacy-course-chp"&gt;Pharmacy&lt;/a&gt; graduates are responsible for drug therapy while doctors provide direct clinical care to patients. The pharmacist is responsible for underlying principles of medication management, drug safety, and providing safe and effective medication therapy. Both provide quality services that are complementary to achieve a common goal but have distinct responsibilities in the healthcare environment.</p>
