Pharmacies are weird when it comes to stocking stuff.

There are medications that pharmacies just don’t stock cause they are too expensive or have too short a shelf life to have sitting around.

So pharmacies are usually able to order meds and get them delivered in 1-2 days, regardless of their “normal” stock.

For example, I worked briefly in the cash office at a grocery store and say daily sales, and the pharmacy would have days where they would “sell” $500k of medications versus their normal day of like $800.

Turns out it was a cancer medication that cost like 500k a dose.

Clearly the pharmacy never had that laying around and special ordered it each time…
