Pharmacy Prescription

The Pharmacy Lost My Prescription Script?

I dropped a written prescription off at Walgreens, in June, 2015, from the doctor for 3 months of Hydrocodone for my elderly mother. Walgreens now says they "LOST IT" . NOW, the government says that the prescriptions can be sent electronically instead of the old fashioned written way, (the government has had to crack down on prescribed narcotic meds. due to fraud, overuse, etc.) We have had to go to the doctor s office every single month to pick up a handwritten prescription (1 month supply) from the doctor for this prescription. Walgreens received the prescription in June, 2015, filled it for 30 days, (one month) to which we picked up. My mother did not need the prescription filled until August (now), but the pharmacy said they "lost it". They never filled the second or third prescription, as far as I know, I we never requested it, they just "lost it". What is the deal with that? Sounds suspicious to me since it was in their system. We did not request the prescription to be filled for the second or third time until now (August). How and why does that happen? Is this fraud? Is this plain incompetence with Walgreens? Should I report this to the Better Business Bureau?

Is prescription RX or PX?

Rx, modern day, is used to denote that something is a prescription drug, rather than an over-the-counter or illegal drug. While most assert, perhaps correctly, that it comes from the Latin, "recipe" which is the imperative form of the verb "recipere" meaning "to take" or "to receive," a few fringe elements loosely claim an earlier origin. Rx, as would be written by hand, depicting what we know as the letter R with and extra line through the "free leg" of the script appearing like a little X, actually shares some structure with a symbol in ancient Egyptian mythology for "The Eye of Horus." While the original symbol looked literally like an eye, it evolved over time and through newer mythologies to maintain it's "major lines" and had later become the symbol of the god, Jupiter (say some). That symbol was used on many a hand written document, cornerstone, keystone, pillar, and set of armor to supposedly invoke the power of divine intervention, even divine healing. Opponents of the "Eye of Horus" explanation point out that Egyptians had long since abandoned those symbols and their entire early belief system, the symbol essentially getting lost for thousands of years. The original symbol itself only re-emerged when Champollion unearthed The Rosetta Stone in the 19th century, reacquainting us with such ealry heiroglyphs and their "meanings." It is said that monks and other members of the then Roman Empirical medical establishment would NOT have been, could not HAVE been, using such a symbol as they had no way of knowing it. Proponents of the "Eye of Horus" explanation claim that Juptier's symbol evolved directly from the "Eye of Horus" symbol over time, pointing out that such a newer incarnation of the symbol would have been used at about the same time in about the same places as the indicated abbreviation for "recipe."

Legit No-Prescription Pharmacies Online?

----------------

Based on my buying experience, before you buy any medication from an online pharmacy you should consider doing some inquiry on the company first. You only get inadequate information from those pharmacies that can't be trusted. You should be able to get enough and convincing information after searching from search engines such as Google and from lists of legit directory of Pharmacies. As those that get defrauded commonly release something over the internet to warn others. You need to find comfort from trusting an online pharmacy before placing an order. Follow pharmacies that are accredited by the VIPPS or Vet-VIPPS programs without prescription.

Do pharmacies share prescription information?

Depends on the state you live in on to whether pharmacies track the fill on scheduled medications. I know that my doctor used to be able to look up how much I got, who prescribed it, and when I filled last. He could go back at least a year. Doctor's and pharmacies are covering their butt's when it comes to these medications so they do not get their license yanked by the DEA.

You could try having the new doctor call the insurance and get a pre-authorization for the fill. Depending on the state, you could try a different pharmacy and pay cash. Be careful though because it could definitely come back to haunt you!

Accident prescriptions?

when you say you are trying to "find the law", are you reviewing the law books......or just calling around?

At any rate, the story form the second Pharmacy sounds the most plausible. I cannot conceive a reason why you can't fill a prescription from a car accident. Perhaps there are some legalities surrounding who they can BILL the prescription to. If you were paying for your own medicine there is no problem.

It is a long-running source of entertainment in Pharmacy when we tell somebody that we can't bill something to their insurance and then they start complaining that we won't fill their prescription. FILL does not equal BILL

What are CII prescriptions?

A C-II prescription refers to a highly addictive and tightly controlled class of medications, also known as narcotics. Examples would be adderall, morphine sulfate, ritalin, percocet, etc. As said before, they are highly addictive and their usage needs to be monitored closely by a patient's physician. The majority of people on prescription drugs do not take C-II's. Other common drug classifications include C-IV (addictive and controlled drugs that are on a lesser level -- ex. vicodin, xanax, etc) and C-VI (which includes the vast majority of prescription drugs, including anything for blood pressure, birth control, anti-biotics, etc).
