What is the minimum size requirement for a prescription counter?

The minimum size requirement for a prescription counter is 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep. This specification ensures that there is adequate space for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to work efficiently while compounding, dispensing medications, and performing other essential functions. Having sufficient workspace is critical for maintaining an organized and safe environment, allowing for the proper handling of prescription medications and facilitating interactions with patients.

Larger options may offer additional space for equipment or storage but are not mandated by regulatory standards. The requirement balances the need for workspace with practical considerations for the size of pharmacy environments, ensuring compliance while also supporting the workflow in a busy pharmacy setting.
