Top Cats Hat   10 #25 Posted August 11, 2019 If a pharmacist can refuse to dispense certain medication, then a pharmacy should also be allowed to refuse to employ them, or dismiss them if they did’t declare this at the time of their appointment.

What is respectful about your post? You are accusing the OP of lying. This problem with pharmacies has been documented before, educate yourself.

It's his normal M.O. I'm afraid . Jump into a thread without  reading it thoroughly , or researching the story , post nonsense and when called out resort to rudeness , wild accusations or say it was a slip of the keyboard.  Calling the O.P. a liar is a new low though.

Jomie   30 #34 Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) There is no mention in that email about the therapeutic use of the contraceptive pill. It is not always prescribed for birth control.  Conditions such as menorrhagia, irregular menstruation, endometriosis are frequently treated with this medication. Assuming that the pharmacist only objects to the contraceptive function of the drug, he or she presumably has no right to refuse dispensing it when lawfully prescribed as treatment for a medical condition. Unless the pharmacist has access to the patient's medical records they cannot know why it is being prescribed so they should at least ask the patient before refusing to dispense it.   Edited August 12, 2019 by Jomie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
