A clinical pharmacist does talk to the patient regarding their medications and will work with the patient's physician to advice on all medications the patient is taking.
Depending on the arrangement between the physician and the pharmacist the pharmacist may be allowed to alter certain medications the patient is taking. This is only allowed for certain cases and usually just involves changing the dosage of a certain medication. This also depends upon the State since several states have different laws regarding the range of care a clinical pharmacist is allowed to give.
