I work in Pharmacy (or Chemist). This is standard procedure to protect you from what might be an error on your Physician's part. Your Chemist would be remiss in his professional duty to you if he did otherwise. I know it can be frustrating, especially given your circumstances. Your Chemist does not think your Physician is a moron, he is just wanting clarification. Your Physician is not trained to recognize or know all drug interactions. Your Chemist is. Your Physician may be unaware of this particular interaction. The Chemist wants to make sure he is aware. That's part of the Chemist's job. Trust both of them, they are both professionals.

Hsmommy is completely right  I know it's hard, but give them some time. I'm sure they will be calling you very soon to let you know everything is alright. They are just doing their job, but I can totally understand why you feel frustrated. I'd would to  | |||

I know how frustrating it is! I live 30 miles from town. I have had to wait around for a problem to clear up at the pharmacy and even then sometimes had to go home without resolution. Perhaps I should invest in a drone and use it to pick stuff up from town! Hehe.
