In pharmacy practice, it is common to analyze prescription records to identify which medications are most frequently prescribed. Using pandas, you can group data by drug name and count the number of prescriptions for each medication, allowing you to quickly spot trends or high-demand drugs. By sorting these results, you can easily determine which drug tops the prescription list. This kind of data analysis is essential for inventory planning, formulary management, and understanding patient care patterns.
