Answer 1

patients have a lot of questions while taking medications or some just have general questions of dietary issues amongst other things and the pharmacist pretty much translate complicated medical information into terms all can understand.
a good pharmacist as well as good pharmacy counseling services are able to solve many of the problems/questions people have without information overload.

most people want to know what the medication will do for them, how it works, what the possible short and long term effects on their body due to taking the medication. they would also like to know when they will be healthy enough to not be on the medication.

so to answer your question all of the above... the pharmacist has a moral obligation to help and council patients who are in need of their expertise.
