I don't know why there are so many that suggest speaking with your pharmacist. Even Package inserts will mention this... Has anyone tried to do that? Most Pharmacists are reluctant to render advice as they feel that they could be held liable, which is probably true. I have been a nurse for over 45 years and often times will be asked questions pertaining to a medical condition and/or medication and will preface my discussion "ask your Doctor what he thinks about this.......... At the end of the day the patient and physician have the ultimate decision.
