Instead of calling your pharmacist, call your physician directly. This should be relatively simple. Your M.D. can then call the pharmacy and issue an alternative prescription.

"Playing telephone" with medical information is a recipe for error. You can't afford this when your life is at stake.

Call your pharmacist and ask them and call your MD and tell the doctor about you and penicillin just because he knows you're allergic doesn't mean he looked at your chart!
