Who can prescribe medications?


I know doctors, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists and physician's assistants can prescribe drugs. Can pharmacists?

Pharmacists have no authority to prescribe medication. At best they could give you a few day supply of a medication that you have already been on for a while if you can't get in touch with your' doctor, that's at the pharmacists discretion though.

PHYSICIAN CAN PRESCRIBED BUT THE PHARMACIST ARE THE ONE WHO CHECKED OUT THE DRUG...

No, pharmacists can not prescribe medications, he can only dispense the prescribed medicines by a qualified physician

Pharmacists may act as medicinal advisors but not to prescribe meds as their profession is not clinical.
