Another interesting fact is that Purdue-Pharmacuticals had to be aware of this. WHY? All med sales are tracked, that little string of numbers running across the script(tells the drug maker what doc, and where the script was filled). Purdue had to notice that the # of scripts was not = the number of pills being dispensed. Eli-Lilly recently got involved in a similar situation where a pharmacist was literally watering down a anti-cancer med, he was ordering LESS than the # of scripts that were being processed. Of corse the good pharmacist was still charging full price for the watered down version, and has several dead customers to prove it.
