The drugs in question while being a birth control pill also reduce the symptoms of endromiotisis, which the patient says she has, one of the symptoms of which can be very painful periods. By regulating and reducing the period, using the hormones in certain makes of pill, any pain is also regulated and reduced in severity, longevity and recurrence. And a pharmacist can be expected to know that
So this pharmacist was in fact simply preventing what in effect was a pain killer from being used, in this womans case.
