It's perfectly normal for a pharmacist to ask the patient why they take a medication. It should be done in *PRIVATE*, however! The reason for asking you is because, well, you are there. I'm not even sure if a doctor can legally tell a pharmacist your diagnoses. My boss if offline already, or I'd ask him--I'll leave this up to Cam. Anyways, pharmacists will often ask the the patients about it to check on the strength of the medication, the dosing, directions, whatever. Medications are normally given certain ways, depending on what it's being used for. Cetain doses will be too high fron some problems, while for another it may be too low. Get the idea? So when a pharmacist asks you a question, s/he is looking out for you just to make sure of your directions. And you aren't over-reacting. Such questions/comments by a pharmacist or other should not be made within earshot of other people because because it doesn't pertain to them. By the way, I'm not up to Cam's level of expertise of course, but I am a pharmacy tech (among other things, .)
