Last prescription I got was antibiotics and steroids for an ear infection. The doctor indeed did give me dosage and schedule. Then the pharmacy also gave me instructions, and they were different. Seeing how each Doctor hopefully keeps up with their field and most likely can't really with others, I'd say the pharmacy instructions are usually safer unless the patient has specific circumstances only the prescribing doctor is aware of.
