Why can't I fill my Xanax with new prescription at a new pharmacy after I refilled my Klonopin?
They are both benzodiazepines but not the same drug. If your doctor prescribed both, you should be able to refill them both at the same time.That being said, if you use Walgreens, they have gone overboard paranoid to the point of refusing to fill controlled substances until they call your doctor and not only verify they prescribed it to you, but also ask them why they prescribed the drug and what your condition is. To me that violates HIPAA laws, but they are doing it and getting away with it.There have even been patients who have been on high doses of CII opiates and have been going to them for years and now they are being forced to suffer for up to 5 days without their meds while they check their prescriptions out (and with CII drugs, they always need to be a new hand written prescription- no refills, no call ins. So if they have a prescription in hand, it should be honoured.)It is unethical and none of their business. What you are taking and why is between you and your physician.I recommend you find a new pharmacy if you are being denied a valid prescription. This “war on drugs” is out of control. That's what happens when the government makes medical decisions for you. There is no basis at all for things to be how they are. People who need their meds are made to feel like addicts and are shammed because of unfounded & irrational fear over drugs.People make way too big of a deal over drugs (and we can thank the DEA for that.)
Which pharmacy has the lowest price on prescription?
Wal-Mart. And if they don't they will match anyones price. I get 8 Rx's filled thee every month
Can you use a prescription filled out in your home state when you’re out traveling in another?
Legally, you can fill prescriptions from another state and fill them in a different state. It is at the discretion of the pharmacist, if they feel comfortable doing this. If it's just something simple like a cholesterol medication, should be no problem at all. Pharmacist may choose to call and verify the prescription. If pharmacist me feel less comfortable filling any controlled substances from out-of-state. I'm a pharmacist in Washington state, and we fill prescriptions written out by in Oregon doctor all the time. If it is a controlled substance, I would probably contact the doctors office prior to filling it. Every state is a little bit different though. Washington state prescriptions have a little picture of the state in the corner, so that I know that it is legal. Oregon does not have this on their prescriptions. As I think other people of said… It is nicer for a pharmacist to transfer a prescription then to take an original hard copy. In this way, if pharmacist from the state of origin has already verify the prescription. And then I'm communicating directly with another medical provider to transfer the prescription. This is easier in general.
How many days early can I pick up an Adderall prescription?
First of all, you must present a new monthly script as they are only filled with a 30 day supply with no refills. Of course you do not want to run out so they allow a buffer of 5 days generally because people are not always at their home pharmacy when they need to refill. And The pharmacy may also not have enough to cover the whole 30 day supply sometimes. Sometimes individual Dr.s offices and pharmacies make up their own policies which are not actually law based. They do their own thing above and beyond real laws. People may have changes in their dosage so the new prescription must be honored . Some doctors offices want their patients only to use one pharmacy so they can keep better track of your comings and goings so that by going to a pharmacy early each month you might be collecting extra pills by the end of the year for abuse or distribution.
Why Does Walgreens Have the Highest Prescription Drug Prices?
Diovan costs $67.47 at Costco, according to its online pricing checker; but at the Sam's Club in Irving on Market Place Diovan cost $40.78-- $50 cheaper than the highest price. "That's high, very high" the price difference surprised Dr. Marv Shepherd at the University of Texas at Austin. Shepherd is the Director of the Center for Pharmacoeconomic Studies College of Pharmacy. He said it was much higher than he thought CBS 11 would find. "I would expect maybe a ten or twenty dollar difference, not $50." Dr. Shepherd says location, competition, and drug shortages explain some of the variances. "You'll see variance from store to store, same variance with shoes or any grocery store item, there is competition in the market place," explains Shepherd. Nexium is an acid reflux medicine. We called 17 Walgreens and CVS locations, and found a month's supply costs $199.99. It was $12 less at Wal-Mart at $188.08. $18 less at Costco at $181.65, and $41 less at the Sam's Club
If my doctor in Ohio electronically sent my Ambien prescription plus refills to a Rite Aid in Ohio. Could a Rite Aid in Michigan fill my refills of Ambien?
Yes, but it can only be transferred once. You will lose any other additional refills if you want to transfer it back. It is a one and done deal.
Where can I get Ambien? My doctor refuses to give me any, even when I haven't slept in days.
Legally speaking, you can't. Unless prescribed to you, there's no way to get ahold of that prescription unless you buy it off of the street. But there are great alternatives, that are healthier than Ambien. Melotonin is a natural supplement that most pharmacies like Rite-aid, CVS, and Walgreens sell.
Fill Out-of-State Schedule II Prescription in California?
I'm a student with ADHD who lives in North Carolina currently interning in the San Francisco Bay Area in California for the summer. I tried to fill a prescription for generic Adderall that my psychiatrist in North Carolina wrote for me, but every pharmacy in California has told me that California law prohibits them from filling a Schedule II prescription written in a different state. I have called several psychiatrists in the region, and they do not have any openings for at least a few weeks. Also, I imagine that I would have to go back for several sessions before any responsible psychiatrist would write a prescription. The medication is pretty important to me, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to reach my full potential at my internship if I break it off so suddenly. Is there anything I can do? Is it possible for my family back in North Carolina to fill this and then ship me the actual medication? What if my parents go to a Walgreens/CVS/Rite Aid in North Carolina, can they transfer the prescription to a chain pharmacy in California? My last resort is to take the train up to Oregon next weekend and go to a pharmacy there, anyone know if I can fill my prescription in Oregon? Thank you so much for reading and answering!
