When Doctors Prescribe Different Drugs For Same Ailment

Many a times, one gets indisposed and the need arises to visit a  Doctor to diagnose and prescribe  drugs to cure the ailment.

But what if, after a short while, you start seeing the symptoms of the previous ailment in your body? But this time, you visit another Doctor. You get there and he/she prescribes a new set of drugs for you different from the ones prior prescribed by the first Doctor.

The feeling of fear starts setting in at this point. And deep down your heart, you have literally stabbed the previous Doctor multiple times for wrong prescription. But after a while, you begin to wonder if it was the first Doctor that is quack or the new one. Well, to cure your dilemma, a friend of mine visited some health specialists and they made it known that in fact, none is quack between the two Doctors, and that it depends on individual school of thought vis-a-vis  the result of the diagnosis.

A Pharmacist changed the wheels to another direction totally. He said it is their job to prescribe drugs not the Doctors' because they (Pharmacists) are the ones who produce the drugs in the first place.

So, the button line is that, Pharmacists can prescribe different drugs for the same ailment,
1. it depends on their schools of thought.

These are my personal opinion
What if the medication for the first diagnose is no longer in the Market?

Another thing you should also consider is that some illnesses have same symptoms. You may have same symptom for totally different illnesses.
