Always count your solid prescription pills or capsules

My mother is on a fixed income and on Medicare Part D so when she started calling anyone of her children including me to help her out on her prescription drug refill all siblings started to wonder why she needed refills too soon (3 days too early).  Some of her prescription was coming 1 to 3 pills short how often this had occurred none of us are sure.  So I called her pharmacist and they informed us that all solid prescription pills and  capsules are counted by machine by weight and they assured us that they will begin dispensing solid prescription by hand. (I believe they gave me this reason to just appease me.)   So my best advice, advocate for your self, your friend or your relatives that they count their medicines.  Drugstore pharmacies will not compensate the client for their inaccuracies.
