Currently in the U.S. all pharmacies and physicians can log onto your drug profile if you have electronic health insurance and your medical record is stored in an electronic medical record. The commenter was correct in it should be your family physician or primary care provider (MD, DO, PA, NP) who should review your medications with you. They can stop, start, refill, prescribe meds and no one else will do this. All providers are swamped trying to catch up with 2 years of no patients so the best time to do this is at your yearly physician exam with your PCP.

Hmm, I was not aware of that. I know that They can log in to a profile of all opioid/controlled substances, but for other drugs I
thought it was only within your network. For example, my docs in my clinic system cannot see the meds that are prescribed to me by docs in another state - I need to self-report changes made outside our network. Same with my ortho, who is part of a different record system than my primary clinic.
