It is filed in the pharmacy as every pharmacy has to account for any discrepancies for any given medicine. It is also kept as a record of the patients medical history. In case of a dilemma that arises, such as an overdose or death of a customer, the pharmacy has proof of what it has dispensed.

Once a precription is counted in then goes on to the pharmacist for verification. They check to make sure it is the right medicine and that all the instructions are correct. In a retail pharmacy it will then go in to an alphabetical bin waiting for pick up.
