Saying that technology has made an impact on the pharmaceutical maxim is perhaps an understatement. All in all, technological advances have seen major alterations on how things were done in the field initially. Marking this innovation is a tablet counter.

Pill counters are an effective way of preventing drug abuse. Pharmacists can be able to give the exact number of tablets that patients need. This means no additional pills for use by other parties, which amounts to drug abuse.

To health facilities, these counters are effective because they reduce costs. Traditional methods of manually counting tablets could see a patient take with them an extra pill or two; tablets that they did not pay for. This in the long run, leads to additional costs. Thanks to the invention of the pill counter, patients get what they pay for and hospitals and pharmacies can reduce costs.
