DE, It's not unusual for a pharmacist to ask you what you are taking a med for, especially if it can be used to treat more that one illness. But yes, I agree that it was tacky if she asked loud enough to heard within earshot of other customers. Whenever my pharmacist educates me on a new med, if he or she feels that there is anything that might be a sensitive subject, say could have an adverse effect on my sex life for instance, they will take me to the far end of the counter and speak to me quietly so no one else can hear. I don't remember your original post, but I hope you addressed the issue with the person in question? If not I hope you do so in the future. That can be quite embarassing.
