Loose pills`are usually counted on a plastic tray with a spatula. Not washed between dispensing. No gloves worn. Hands not washed.
Safer to buy branded meds in blister packs or sealed containers. Also prevents errors due to similar white pills of many generic meds.In Ontario Pharmacy "assistants" are often allowed to dispense.
