TORBAL ® Rx brings you pillcounting.com - experience our tablet counters, learn about our technology, understand the features...
Imagine waiting at the pharmacist’s as your prescription gets filled up. The guy filling your prescription smiles as he counts… One, two, three, four, five… while at the same time trying to maintain eye contact with you. He drops each successive pill inside a small package where he writes ‘3 times a day for 10 days’ on the label. You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to know that 3 times 10 totals to 30 tablets, right?
But what if, when you arrive home and on a whim decide to count the drugs, and discover instead of 30 you have 50 tablets? If it were a bag of apples and you happen to have gotten more than what you bought you wouldn’t want to take them back seeing that an apple a day keeps the doctor away! But this is medicine, and you and I know returning the excess medicine to the pharmacy is the right thing to do. But how do you just head back to the pharmacy and let them know without saying so, that they need to invest in a pharmacy pill counter? How do you point out such an error to a guy whose smile showed you he knew what he was doing?
Every pharmacy should invest in a pharmacy pill counter even if it is merely to repay customers for investing their faith in their pharmacist’s ability to count. A pill counter improves counting accuracy, reduces labor time as well as helps reduce and eliminate dispensing errors that come with manual counting.
Drop us a line today and discover the right pharmacy pill counter that will give you peace of mind. At Fulcrum, Inc, we pride ourselves in having the perfect solution for your pill counting needs. Your pharmacy will improve its efficiency while your staff will dispense the medicine they prescribe with a reassurance that will bring joy to the hearts of your customers, whose trust and life rests in the hands of your staff.

The usual standard used for reference in pill counting time is the time it takes to fill a script manually using a counting tray. These times vary depending upon the operator. The following times are based upon averaging the results of many operators and are for pill counting only (do not include fetching the supply bottle from its storage place or any drug verification); The general form of an equation for this operation would be P = nV + C, where P is the number of pills counted, n is the number of 5 pill sweeps made with the counting spatula, V is the time per sweep in seconds, and C is the time spent in setting up the counting (opening the supply bottle, pouring an adequate amount out on the tray, pouring the counted pills into the customers vial, pouring the excess back into the supply bottle, and screwing the cap back on the supply bottle)
