How far back in your history can a pharmacist go?

I have gotten oxycodone prescription filled at the same pharmacy for years. I get it filled every two weeks.

The pharmacist never mentioned a problem getting it a day or two early until last... read more

My pharmacy refuse to fill my Lyrica I've been without it for 6 days now. What can I do?

Why is the pharmacy refusing to fill it on the 4th instead of the 11th? All my previous scripts were for 30 days. Tthis one I'm trying to refill is a 90-day prescription

What do I do? My doctors office said I’ve been red flagged at the pharmacy?

Their reasoning was questionable- they told me because my insurance approved Dexedrine ER, and that my name is under both my maiden name and married name, and that I use multiple pharmacies (which is untrue- they call my scripts in to three different CVS’s). I called the pharmacy and my... read more

Have a script for oxycodone?

I have been under the care of a pain doctor for five years. I moved to Tennessee in November. Received a script for Percocet. Went to every pharmacy in town.

Anyone else have awful side effects from zolpidem made by Northstar. Does Teva still make Zolpidem?

My pharmacy switched my 5mg zolpidem manufactured by Teva to one made by Northstar. I felt awful in the am; very sad, anxious and unhinged and not well rested at all!

Why are hydrocodone yellow 10/325?

Why are hydrocodone, yellow 10/325, hard to break, and dissolve. My mother can’t swallow pills, and I can’t hardly get these to dissolve. Is this normal? Should I take them back to the pharmacy? When I do break them for her, they barely crumble. Just looking for some insight on this.

Switching generic version?

I was prescribed prednisone tabs to be taken 6x3 and 4x3 and 2x3 and 1x3 days or a total of 39 tablets. However there were 50 tablets prescribed. The pharmacy confirmed the total prescribed and the directions. Why are there 11 extra pills?

Pharmacy changed manufacturer of my generic Gabapentin?

I have been taking the same dose and manufacturer for two years. Gabapentin 300mg once before bedtime, daily. Last week when I got my refill I noticed the pill change and asked the pharmacy about it, they said they changed manufacturers. I didn't think much about it. Over the past week, I am... read more

Should I take a Z Pack if I also take hydoxychloroquine and sertraline?
