Also consider that a pharmacy absolutely does not stock every single kind of medication ever. A GP’s pharmacy is likely not going to have super specialised medicines because there’s almost no circumstance where it would prescribed. For example: immunosuppressants that are only used after orgsn transplants. The people who need those meds and the people who show up to a GP basicslly do not overlap.

My friend went to Japan and got a prescription filled. He timed it. 10 minutes. And the pharmacist and asst came out and apologized and bowed for taking so long.

Hospital pharmacy tech here, inpatient setting. We have three large carousels that keep the majority of our meds in. About 12 refrigerators for cold storage medications. My site does a lot of transplants so there’s some high cost drugs we keep in stock like factors and chemotherapy.

Generally speaking we have a two weeks supply of most things and get deliveries 5 days a week. If we run out of something we can request it from another hospital in our system.
