Fine, call your pharmacist when you have a problem. I can just imagine telling the ER doc that your polypharmacy problems are being managed by your pharmacist. Do you think the pharmacist will call back on the weekend if there is a problem? (Oh, please don’t give the snarky reply that the MD wouldn’t call either; the vast majority would and do call, despite the stuff people post around here.)

Not retail pharmacists. There’s a world of difference.
Which, of course, you would have known had you bothered to read the actual post before pounding your keyboard.
