Actually, pharmacists are professionally obligated to question prescriptions that they feel might not be appropriate or might be misused.
In the event of death or harm to the prescribed patient, it has been established that the pharmacist is equally liable in the event an incorrect prescription has been written.
The girl had already been taking the medication, so presumably the pharmacist knew what the girl was taking it for and also knew about the refill schedule. Likewise he would've known that there was no risk to the girl since she'd already been taking it.
If it was a new prescription or for some drug not normally prescribed for the affliction I would probably agree with you...
