Working in a hospital, i had a patient with a small spinal fluid leak, nothing too serious, but it was causing him terrible migraines. So his doc admitted him to the hospital and we pumped his veins full of straight caffeine. Headache went right away! Im sure if your doc wrote u a prescription for some sort of caffeine pill, it would be for a headache, migraine, something along those lines.

You had asked "Why does a Pharmacist give Caffeine? well, the Pharmacist can only fill the script that the Dr. writes out. He cannot just give out any medication that he wants to .
Believe it or not there are medical reasons for having caffeine in certain medications and most patients don't even know it. I used to work in the Pharmacy as a Tech for 6 years and not once did we give out a medication that wasn't prescribed by a Dr. Hope that you find your answer.

I can't imagine any situation where a pharmacist would give plain caffiene to a patient.
Caffiene has benefits when combined with pain relievers (Tylenol, etc.) for headache relief, but in Western countries, we would never give someone just plain caffiene. They could just go drink a coffee or a cola. No need to see a pharmacist for that.
