It’s a concern to me because it’s the same pharmacy that I use. He should have told her that his doctor thought it worked and the pharmacists job is to fill the prescription not to second guess his doctor.

I like that. However, sometimes the pharmacist second guessing a doctor has saved lives. The pharmacist many times knows the drug interactions that a Dr. doesn’t think of when prescribing. But in this case it is a drug that does work for many things so saying it doesn’t is just a lie.
The pharmacist should be told that he/she is apparently not keeping up with pertinent medical literature and is easily swayed by headlines and fake news. The pharmacist appears to be making off-hand statements based on political bias.
“I promise to devote myself to a lifetime of service to others through the profession of pharmacy. In fulfilling this vow:
I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of suffering my primary concerns.
I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal outcomes for my patients.
I will respect and protect all personal and health information entrusted to me.
I will accept the lifelong obligation to improve my professional knowledge and competence.
I will hold myself and my colleagues to the highest principles of our profession’s moral, ethical and legal conduct.
I will embrace and advocate changes that improve patient care.
I will utilize my knowledge, skills, experiences, and values to prepare the next generation of pharmacists.
I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am entrusted by the public.”
I’m so fired up by this that I feel like contacting your
State Board of Pharmacy and hitting them with a stack of medical literature.
