Is it True?

Hello,
     Is it true that if you have hydrocodone 7.5 filled at a local pharmacy like (rite aid) that you can turn around and order a presciption for hydocodone 5 from a mail order pharmacy like (express scripts) without them flagging or denying you?

I'm confused...why would you want to be doing this? You just had the issue with the old prescription getting filled and causing trouble at the Pharmacy on your other thread.

Both the state and the DEA monitor controlled substances and 41 states have the Prescription Monitoring Program which tracks you by name so anywhere....cash or insurance...online or in store...fill a controlled substance both Pharmacists and Drs. can see this.

Where are you getting a prescription for 5mg Hydrocodone when you just filled the 7.5 from the new Dr. you are seeing?

I'm not trying to be a jerk here...it's just causing questions about what is going on...

Oh..Ok...It may be helpful to state that up front..LOL....

The point to tell your friend is that anything is "possible" but it shouldn't be done as that would mean they are getting medications from two different Drs. which is considered "Dr. Shopping" and if they do get caught, it could cause a lot of problems for them down the line.
