Rx Script

[BB15]

My friend recently took a script from a dr's office he worked for, and forged a script for percocet 10 mil. he said he wont do it again, and i know he wont but can he get caught? Do doctors have a way pof knowing if a prescription was filled or forged if its only done once? I told him not to do that but of course he didnt listen and im paranoid for him so I wanted to know if there was any way he could get caught if he only di dit once. Thanks!

in SC they send copies back to the doctors office of any controlled sub prescribed to the doctor with the date it was filled

did he forge the script to his name? and for a large amount? or did he use another name? alot of pharm. check with dr before they fill. they also ask for a ID, if he forged it to a freinds name, they both could get into trouble

Becuase your friend "works" at the office, it won't be as easily overlooked....they usually watch co workers pretty closely. I know that at my uncles practice they are always watching and keep a close eye on anyone who would have access to scripts.  So it really depends on how much attention they pay.  I know that my uncle keeps a thin pad and always has 20 blank scripts a day.  At the end of the day he knows how many he wrote and how many he has left.  He's caught 2 employees forging scripts.

YES he can get into trouble!  I had a niece that spent time in prison for that OMG  I think they call the office when they get rx's filled or send back something.  I hope not but it happened to her.  She spent almost 3 years in prison it is a felony.  Keep us informed I don't mean to scare you but it happened to her.

It is possible but highly unlikely of being caught. If the pharmacy questions it, then there could be trouble.
