You can call the toll free number for your mail order.

Or you can go online to the drug's website...

Many community pharmacists are NOT experts in every drug.
They will look up a data base and read off it. The data base typically reflects the drug insert mandated by the FDA.

Rxlist.com is often useful as well. RxList and the like will have basic information, about to take with food, or not...what to avoid, major drug interactions etc. Efficacy? That would be more tricky. Doctors who keep up will share efficacy with patients based on their experience, but for new drugs? That is a big problem since there is no experience yet.
