Does a law exist that limits the number of prescriptions that a pharmacist can check in a day in retail?

Question

Does a law exist similar to nursing such as the maximum number of patients per nurse?

This question is strictly asking about retail pharmacy.

Answer 1

No, there is no such law. However, studies have shown a pharmacist should not do more than about 250 scripts in an 8 hour day. If you do more than that, you are rushing and might impact quality. It is not uncommon for pharmacists to do way more than that amount per day.
