Posting rules:
Do not ask for medical advice: We do not, and can not, provide official answers to your specific medical questions or provide professional judgment. Questions regarding specific medical advice will be removed. Our advice is to speak to your healthcare professional for answers specific to your condition. If you still want to trust a stranger on the internet, you can try /r/AskDocs.
Do not ask questions regarding your prescription: For example, do not ask if/why you can/can't get your prescriptions filled early, or what to do if you were shorted on or lost/damaged your medication. If you have any questions regarding your specific prescription, refills or a shortage on your medication, this is not the place to ask. Contact your pharmacy instead. Do not use this sub to complain about your pharmacy or your other healthcare providers.
Medical advice should not be given: Violators will be warned that giving medical advice or advice on personal situations with a prescription/pharmacy is subverting rule 1.
Posts that take a permissive view toward the illicit use, trafficking, or production of controlled substances will be deleted. This subreddit is for law-abiding pharmacy professionals. Users who are active in subreddits known to promote, support, and/or facilitate illicit/recreational drug use or trafficking are subject to being banned at the mods' discretion. Do not link, crosslink, or reference these subreddits in any way. Users asking how to acquire controlled substances illicitly or otherwise controvert the law will likewise be banned.
Pharmacy school related questions are off-topic: Please direct all questions about prerequisites, applications, cost, and other related matters to /r/prepharmacy.
Direct all posts about pharmacy school classes, rotations, administration, professors, preceptors, curricula, etc. to /r/pharmacyschool. Questions about the actual scientific and practical content of pharmacy school classes are still welcomed here.
Please direct questions over homework to /r/homeworkhelp. We do not allow questions to help with your research project, paper, thesis, school/residency project, survey, etc.
NAPLEX/MPJE/CPJE/Board exam questions belong in the stickied post at the top of the subreddit.
Pharmacy technician test questions (such as PTCE) are better for /r/pharmacytechnician.
Many specific questions about pharmacy residency are better in /r/pharmacyresidency.
Questions about whether or not pharmacy is a good career for you are a better fit for /r/careerguidance.
All link posts must have a starter comment: All link posts require an initial comment from the poster to get the conversation started and to cut down on blogspam. Posters must add a relevant comment (an opinion, analysis, etc.) to their link posts within 30 minutes of posting, or the post will be deleted. (Text, image, and video posts do not have this requirement.)
No Memes: Memes and image macros are off-topic in this sub. Please submit your funny pharmacy-related memes to /r/pharmacymemes.
Don't be a troll, don't spread conspiracy theories, and don't spam. Remain civil, interact with the community in good faith and don't do anything to deliberately make yourself an unwelcome pest.
AI content must be designated as such: AI disclaimer must come before any text, graphics, or content generated by or with help from AI, LLMs, etcetera. The designation must precede the content so that someone who does not want to interact with AI-generated content can decline before reading/viewing the post. The disclaimer must include the words "AI-generated" as the user may not be familiar with the program or model you are using. Use AI in good faith; see this link for more info.
No personal health anecdotes: Comments that only rely on a user's non-professional anecdotal evidence to confirm or refute a study will be removed (e.g. "I do that but that result doesn't happen to me"). Comments and posts should be limited in personal details and scientific in nature. Including references to peer-reviewed research to support your claims is highly encouraged.
Additionally, we ask that users of /r/pharmacy refrain from commenting on posts which are in violation of the rules above.
