DrugBuyers.Com: RX Monitoring

Wow, I didn't perceive her as being unhelpful or uncaring...I think she's just trying to answer the question. ANd if you look at the original posters post, he's talking about local pharmacies, not OP's...and the risk is great...many Pharmacists work Per Diem like nurses do...so Pharmacist Bob is working at Walgreens this week, where his x currently has a script being filled...Monday morning...she's getting another one at Osco...HMMMM he says...see Pharmacists are REQUIRED BY LAW to report suspected prescription fraud/abuse, from two standpoints...1.) the laws of the locality against doctor shopping and prescription fraud...and having several different docs, who are NOT aware of one another prescribe the same med, then getting it filled at different pharmacies, to avoid detection is abusive/fraudulant.
2.) From the standpoint of the health & wellbeing of the patient....if the patient is getting multiple narc scripts filled at different pharmacies, the pharmacist has to consider the potential health risks to the patient, possiblity of OD, and liver damage 2ndry to WAY Too much APAP from taking high doses of multiple narc/combo's...
And all it takes is for ONE pharmacist/pharmacy to become suspicious...this sort of info can spread really quickly through the pharmacy/medical community....and they're not breaking any laws when they notify another physcian/pharmacy of suspected fraud/abuse...so the worst thing that could happen to her, and WILL happen to her is one provider will find out, then ALL her providers/pharmacies will find out, then she'll be cut off COLD TURKEY...
Go ahead, believe like Pollyanna this isn't or couldn't happen...it happens EVERYDAY
