My pharmacist knows far more about drug interactions and side effects than any doctor I have ever known. It is my pharmacist who will be like, "Oh, you are taking ________ right now? Make sure not to take it within 2 hours of the meds the doctor prescribed. It can cause some bad interactions"

Yes my family pharmacist caught pills which were prescribed but shouldnt be taken together with our existing meds. They wouldnt fill the order then contacted the doctor and got a different prescription issued.

They can be very annoying and stupid sometimes too. My dad was in hospice for about 8 months and I STG every single time I went to Walgreens theyd try to give me some bitch ass shit about his pain meds that were keeping him out of complete agony. I basically would just have to yell at them until they straightened up and did their fucking job.

Couldn't typing all the meds into a computer catch that?

The computer doesn't differentiate between what is and isn't clinically relevant.

Just today, I took a call from a PA because he was admittedly paranoid about ordering citalopram and ondansetron for his patient because the computer flagged it. I guessed that he was concerned about QT prolongation, and he was.

Cardiac history? None.
Is that ondansetron every 8 hours as needed? Yep.

Then don't worry about it.

not saying that pharmacists would be unnecessary otherwise, but a large amount of the premium that career path has associated with it is due to regulatory capture
