Know the health problem that requires the prescription for my medication.

Your pharmacist cannot guess which health problem required your prescription. This information is critical to their work, as a single drug can be used to treat more than one disease.

Your pharmacist has a responsibility to ensure that what has been prescribed is appropriate for your condition, other illnesses you have, and other medications you are taking. They must also take the same factors into account when helping you to choose any over-the-counter medication indicated for your situation.
