Answers: You can buy a Physician Desk citation or PDR. it describes every pill or meds. Enumerates their indications, dosage, side effects or adverse effects.
Doctors by virtue of their license prescribe the requisite medications. The duty of the pharmacist ( also licensed ) is to crawl up the prescriptions. Both of them should work with an agenda that your best interest and welfare is considered.
Don't verbs, when there is a interview of a drug, the Pharmacist usually tries to contact your doctor for clarification. They are more familiar on any side effects.
Remember, both hold licenses to protect.
