Yeah your doctor is supposed to do this too but no one actually does. The amount of people on multiple drugs that have serious interactions is astounding. So many people on pharma speed balls (Adderall, pain pills) for their chronic pain and muh adhd. Lot of people drinking while they take benzos cuz their doctors tell them it’s fine even though it can make you stop breathing and cause serious brain damage. I knew a guy once that was on 2mg xanax and fentanyl patches every day. That shit can make you stop breathing. Also people on antidepressants and cough meds at the same time. can cause serotonin syndrome.
There is a lot of that going on, but I'm sure pharmacists at big chain pharmacies have to perform some sort of check in the computer system, however sloppy or half-assed they click through it. So instead of 30 seconds of counting pills there's an additional 5 minutes of fucking around with computers too.
