Yes, but they're not doctors. I've had pharmacists tell me that a particular medication or combination is "innapropriate". I've been told by pharmacists that ritalin is "a drug for children" and that I "must be up to something".
I don't care for the opinions of a pharmacist personally, unless there is a clear, life threatening medical error.
Its not that I don't respect the job of the pharmacist, because I do. However, if you want to become a medical doctor, go through medical school.
