It is not a good idea mixing meds and exaiming ill in the same place an unhealthy outlook,not for me or my family or even my friends..Keep to mixing meds and wash your hands at all time..
I entirely trust my family Doctor and there practice and always will..
I went to a pharmacist with a lump on my finger. He " diagnosed " a wart and sold me wart treatment costing $ 35.00. The lump did not respond to treatment and became worse. Went to a GP who diagnosed correctly a vascular problem, which required specialist medical treatment. Pharmacists are playing at being doctor.
Pharmacists are such an underutilised resource that it is baffling. They spend 5 years studying to develop their expertise in medicines' management. Why not use them for what they are worth? Other countries are realising it. Re trust, pharmacists as professionals are well trusted and regarded.
People don't go to their pharmacist for help because there is a perception that they're just in it to sell the most expensive version of the required medication. With a prescription, you get the same medication for less money, even with the doctor's fee accounted for. I don't trust my pharmacist because when I take a prescription in to get filled they try to sell me three other expensive things that I don't want or need.
