[QUOTE="cugila, post: 174200, member: 15325"] Trying to be totally impartial here Viv........ The Pharmacist is highly qualified and GP's frequently consult them to check if a combination of drugs is safe. I had that confirmed by a Pharmacist friend some time ago. Without knowing what the 2 drugs in question were we couldn't comment any further. Now if this Pharmacist had an issue with your prescription it is the GP he should have consulted and discussed with first. Not wait to ask you about it. I can totally understand you getting annoyed and frustrated. As sugar2 has suggested you should as a matter of urgency discuss this event with your GP. See if there is a logical explanation or ask your own Pharmacist who apparently has dispensed these previously. They all are governed by a strict Code of Conduct and he may have thought that he might be breaching that if he dispensed the meds ? Under Sections 70, 71, 72 and 72A of the Medicines Act 1968 the Pharmacist has a [b]legal duty[/b] to ensure the safety of any person who he dispenses too.........he is also covered by the NHS Pharmaceutical Services legislation.
