It kills me to see every child with a runny nose be put on an antibiotic or an elderly patient fill 15 rx's when I know the second 10 are a direct result of the first 5. Don't get me wrong, I love my job but your right. I think you give doctors credit for having more knowledge than they actually do. They tend to have their favorite drugs which they prescribe or are familiar with due to the drug reps and when they need to go beyond that, they open the PDR on their palm pilot and prescribe the first thing that fits the diagnosis. As a pharmacist, I had no training in vitamins or herbal supplements. Shocking ,yes,but they are not considered drugs and are not studied by the FDA. I have taken continuing education classes on these topics, but that is limited.I have a hard time recommending these products which are located directly in front of my counter so I get questions all day long!! I usually refer them to their doctor or get out my supplement book and do the best I can. I am in no way offended.
