I...Isn't there anything you can do about this? If taking 20mg of Ambien is dangerous why isn't it being denied by all RPH's @ your store? If she takes the 20mg (written by the doctor) & she decides to go out for Taco Bell the filling staff member (& the pharmacy) would still be held liable because s/he knows that dose is too high/dangerous & still filled it?<br /><br />I was a tech for 6 years in the 90's and busted a urologist for filling Ritalin for his wife. I know, what's the big deal once or twice in an emergency? When he wrote the script (on his yellow pad) standing in front of me @ the "drop off" window alarm bells went off. I checked her profile & he'd been writing the same script 1-2 times a month (200-400 tabs monthly) for a year. Why it was never caught, still escapes me (it was the first time I had seen the script & the RPH working w/ me)! Out of curiousity (okay, not true I was hoping for a big bust) I called every chain in my town & he'd been doing it everywhere for a year. That particular week alone he did it somewhere different each day paying cash each time. <br /><br />The RPH (a close friend) said, "This ones yours! I'll support whatever you say/do!" I called the SOB back & told him we couldn't fill the script because it was out of his realm of expertise. He was ready w/ the excuse, "My wife has narcolepsy and her doc is out of town so this is just to get her by!" I handed him the print out & he knew he was busted. He asked for the script back & I told him I'd need to hold on to it as it would be turned over to the DEA. I thought he seem a bit nervous.<br /><br />However, my cherry on top were the parting words I had for him after he turned away....."Oh & Dr. (insert his last name), good luck getting any other pharmacy to fill this one for you!" He didn't heed my warning because that night four scripts were collected. Each pharmacy went through their records and in total we collectively had approx 90 scripts (really embarrassing) & the case was turned over to the DEA.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-70725347509305936582015-09-21T04:43:15.817-07:002015-09-21T04:43:15.817-07:00And in the meantime, I have trouble getting my Lev...And in the meantime, I have trouble getting my Levothyroxine filled a week early so I can go on vacation.
