Isn't that written down in the manufacturer's datasheet that comes with the drugs when you get the rx filled?

The average human does not read said datasheet. Shit, I would say the majority don't.

But usually doctors are very busy people, who may look it up in the compendium, but don't necessarily have time to dig into the details.

I don't fault him and that's exactly where the pharmacist comes in.
