"Some pharmacists wouldn’t fill scripts for iver."

I remember that now, but I don't understand how they got away with refusing a doctor's script for a patient, especially a medication that isn't illegal, or a controlled substance. I did a search, and found that they can legally refuse to fill controlled substances, but I would think they would have to give a reason, and show evidence as to why, and their decision should be able to be challenged. The search also said that they can refuse to fill a prescription if they find the medication to be medically inappropriate, which since they aren't medical doctors, how are they qualified to determine that? They don't know the patient personally and aren't involved in their treatment. It doesn't make any sense to me.
