Disappointing quality of advice given by some pharmacists

摘要

The current advice to members of the public is to "ask your pharmacist" to obtain advice on minor ailments. My recent experience of the advice received, when two separate pharmacies were consulted, left me with the view that useful advice was the last thing that was on offer. As a 16-week pregnant hospital pharmacist, I had the occasion to seek advice on the most suitable product for the relief of excessive trapped wind.
