A pharmacist is authorized is by the state law to obtain information about the patient medication record before refilling the prescription. Some states allow pharmacy interns to do the same as to pharmacist receiving and refilling jobs. The pharmacist needs to screen or to do the Drug Utilization Review (DUR). In this process, the pharmacist will require you to supply some basic health information like gender, age, or date of birth, allergies, drug reactions and chronic conditions.  They are also responsible for the validity of the information presented to them may it be through telephone call or facsimile copy of the prescription refill authorities form or renewals. The refill you can get depends on the quantity of medication written on the prescription. The physician can decide to give you a larger quantity of prescription drug if it is appropriate in your medical condition. Exercising clinical judgment by pharmacists in filling prescription drug is expected.
