Firstly, what's the ratio of doctors to patients in Nigeria presently? If all patients were to go to the hospital directly for every illness, would they be attended to on time? I'm not justifying the fact that some pharmacists overdo, it doesn't take away the fact that every pharmacist has the clinical knowledge to consult on minor illnesses and treat as appropriate and also to refer where appropriately. If we're to come online and say all the malpractices and unethical practices done by other professionals, the Internet wouldn't contain us.

When it comes to hospital We have the primary health centre We have the state hospitals We have the federal/tertiary hospitals We have the private hospitals The role of pharmacist in all this is to sell medications and refill medications It’s not to do clinical consultations and drug prescription. And you can’t tell if it’s a minor illness or major illness. That’s where clinicians comes in, they rule out, ask for tests to confirm diagnosis, before the give medication to treat

The knowledge gap is crazy If you go to medical school you know, Doctors need to 1)TAKE HISTORY 2)EXAMINE 3)INVESTIGATE 4)MAKE A DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS Before they 5)TREAT which can be Conservative, Medical(drugs) or Surgical History taking alone there are a lot of sub headings that will determine which type of medication to take;Past medical and surgical history, Drug and allergy history, Social history etc All these info are very important as small or tiny as they look can determine what medication should not make it to the patient GI or system at all, would you know if you didn’t take the history..? All these things you didn’t do and you want to prescribe a drug for the patient Pharmacy is broad you import, export, dispense, compound, make drug is that not enough, why creeping..? Allow the doctors to do their work



Chale Ghana err someone will kill you before your time😂. Walks into pharmacy with Oxycodone script and they give you Oxybutynine😭. So imagine I’m the type that just takes whatever I’m given😭😭

Somebody please help, I can't see this Doctor's prescription!!!
