The pharmacy caught me with a "fake" script

[Needout]

I obtained a couple of script papers from my dentist a few days ago. he wrote me a script for 10 Lortabs and I had them filled yesterday. Today I forged one of the other scripts and took it to a local pharmicie, not my regular one. The pharm called my doctoer who said that he did not wright the script. So when I went to pick it up he said he was confenscating it. I called the doc to talk to him and plead my case, the doctor wrote it off as nothing and is not going to do anything. What I want to know is will the pharmacy still try to do anything even though the doc is not?? Please help with amy advice. thank you

Why is this not an option, because of money? I know how that is -- did you take those pills? I hope not.

I'm a CPhT and know that the charges will not come from the prescribing [or lack there of] physician -- but will instead come from the pharmacy itself. ANY time a pharmacy gets a situation at hand like this, they are liable by law to contact the DEA with offenses such as fake, forged or copied prescriptions such as the one you attempted to get filled. Whether it was your regular pharmacy you go to or not -- they are still held accountable for situations like this, and can not jeopardize their pharmacy license for simply ignoring the law, if this makes sense.

You've received a lot of amazing advice here from members, and I feel the best thing for you to do at this point in time would be to contact a lawyer [which you have already -- assuming] and go from there. IF you feel that this was done because of an addiction that you once had in the past coming back to get to you, then seek professional and/or medical assistance for this as well.

Great info thx. The thing was the pharma started doing the refill math based on the NEW script. The intention was - finish your other dose (about 6 days worth etc) then go to the lower. She calcs up well lets see based on the NEW instructions you now have 33% more. So instead of refill in 6 days now its like 9 or so based on the one they HAD NOT filled yet.


Idiot.

if they INCREASE the dosage or change the frequency of the dosage or the quantity of the dosage, yes, they can fill another scrips.however, if they reduce they dosage and you are within the framework of the original dosage and thus SHOULD have some left, they don't have to fill it.

Big question on script.

I recently had a Doc change a frequency (less) on a pmed script. The pharma then said well you now have some tabs so they should last you longer..... I had a new script. Thought if you changed the dosage that was automatically refillable.

Some of these Pharmas are a real hoot to deal with.
