 Re: Warning to anyone with monthly meds!

Evidently someone called the pharmacy using his name and requested the refill. His doctor's office also called him and said the same thing about the refill. He explained to his physician's office that he still couldn't afford the medication and was doing OK without it and he had not called to request the refill in the first place....
It had to have been someone in the support group or someone else who knew him well enough to have known the med he was on and the dosage, as well as the name of his doctor.
While this attempted "drug appropriation" is bad enough, even more damaging, IMHO, is the harm this is going to bring to the trust between the members of your support group.
There is another possibility which I hope your friend will consider. Whoever called in the refill may have found an empty bottle in the trash and decided to help himself to the next refill by using the prescription number and information on the old container.
