    Have the prices changed since the tariffs began and how has it affected your customers and their copays?

    Do you ever judge people based on their prescriptions? Asking for a friend.

    What is or was a pharmacists role or duty regarding dispensing opioids? Not legally, well perhaps so, but I see all the settlements so there had to be something there but I am wondering if that liability extended to the line workers.

    Can Fentanyl cause people to have hallucinations, dependency or coma?

    I’m writing a story about drugs and don’t know which one requires the least suspension of disbelief

    This is an oddly specific question, but what’s your opinion/thoughts on the long term use of Low Dose Naltrexone (currently prescribed to me for the ME/CFS variant of Long Covid)? Thanks for doing this AMA!

    What % of customer interactions are fraudulent attempts to get unauthorized drugs? How big of a problem is that for you?

    Considering that physicians prescribe the medications and the dosages, what exactly do pharmacists do besides double checking for errors/medicationinteractions?

    How do you keep from getting burned out? It seems like the pill counting and filling prescriptions would get old fast.

    Is PBM pricing hurting your pharmacy?

    Might be a bit of a strange question but do you also need a prescription for certain medicines or can you just take whatever you want? Does someone actually controls if pharmacist just take some for themselves?

    Is there a celebrity death that fascinates you as a pharmacist? One that you have studied or would like to study more closely from a pharmacological perspective?
