Building on your skills in representing medication data and using **pandas** for pharmacy applications, you can now tackle real-world inventory problems by filtering and visualizing key information. In pharmacy practice, identifying medications that are running low is crucial for patient care and inventory management. By filtering a DataFrame to find drugs with low stock and creating a clear horizontal bar chart, you make it easy to spot which medications need to be reordered. This approach uses **pandas** for efficient data selection and **matplotlib** for effective visualization, ensuring that your results are both accurate and actionable.
