Gave Someone His Prescription Medicine?

If he doesn't already have a competent attorney, you need to hire one immediately.\n\nThese types of cases can be especially complicated, as there is more at stake than you may realize.  For instance, a conviction on a drug charge may mean reduce or little eligibility for federal student aid in college, (if he decides to go that route).  Although it IS against the law to give anyone a drug that is not prescribed for  him, there is always grounds to review this with the prosecuting authority.\n\nI  urge you to contact a skilled criminal defense attorney in your area.  Be prepared to pay a sizeable retainer.  For a referral to a criminal defense attorney, contact your local or state bar association.

Call a lawyer, tampering with perscriptions is a crime, so I would be worried about that.  However you can find information about this in any specialized "medical law book"  You need to look at medical law so you see where this is covered.

No way to tell his prescription without seeing his glasses. You can't just pull a number out of your ass and give it to a reputable doctor and get glasses from it. He needs to see a doctor to get a prescription.

Yes, but since these are prescriptions and non-narcotic, it should not be a problem if you disclose and they were prescribed for you.

this depends does the person in a have power of attorney or given permission by the MR pt to recieve intstructions if so then a is the best choose, if not then C with B if you have time constraints since this is probably on discharge if you have a few days before discharge then a modified D would work have the patient call you 20minutes before time for the meds to remind you to bring them and then bring him the meds to take himself if its in a bottle and not prepacked then bring him the bottle to open and get 1 pill out etc.

you can call the doctors office that wrote the perscription for you and ask for the doctor to call the pharmacy you go to  (like giant or cvs) and fill it. just be sure to have the pharmacy's phone numbers to give to the doctors office.

That depends. If no harm or injury was caused, nothing other than inform him/her of the error . If the medication error resulted in an injury, then contact the state medical board and lawyer if needed.

I've never heard of any doctor, dentist or otherwise, "selling" their patients medications.  They can give samples of medications for the patients in case they need them until they are able to get to the pharmacy.  Even if the cost is less, I would steer away from this.  I think it's illegal.  It's almost like charging the patient "twice".  Check with the AMA in your state as soon as possible and find out if what he is doing is legal.

Every doctor is different.  He has the duty to treat his patient to the best of his abilities, but if he believes it's not in the patient's best interest to become dependent on narcotics, he certainly has the right to refuse to prescribe them.\n\nThe patient is always free to consult with another doctor.  I'm sorry for whoever it is that's in this situation. It's really a horrible place to be at...

Not legally, at least in the United States.  Mind you, there are places that will either sell it to you illegally (a bit rare, being a felony and all) or have a doctor on staff look over a questionnaire you fill out and then prescribe the drug (much more common).  he FDA is currently looking into requiring any doctor writing a prescription to have a face-to-face consultation with/evaluation of the patient.

If he prescribed the meds, he bears the legal responsibility, but it's possible that he doesn't actually have access to the records.  Whatever the case, your access to your medical records are guaranteed by federal law.  Whoever owned the facility would be responsible for maintaining those records.  \n\nIn general, I agree with these other guys.  He knows he's in trouble and he's trying to weasel out.  Strongarm him.

I used to deliver pharmacy medications to a woman named Fanny Rash.\nNo kidding.

You may or may not have a case, i guess i dont know the details. If he discussed the case with the cashier in an effort to solve the problem of who has the script, I dont think it would be a privacy violation (I maybe wrong) especially if he didnt disclose to her what drug you were taking. And its going to be hard to prove by word of mouth that this isnt what happened. If it was a personal conversation though and then it would probably be a HIPPA violation.  I'm an intern in pharmacy school but I'm not a legal expert so I don't know every little detail and what counts as a HIPPA violation and what doesnt. Also, if they end up not having that your ex isnt allowed to pick up your Rx you might have a tough time proving your case. Like I said though, I dont know the details of the incident nor am i familiar with the situation, and I'm sure im not hearing the whole story. It seems odd your doctor would "drop" you if there wasnt more to this story... You probably need to talk to a lawyer to get an exact answer if you really want to sue them. It sounds like it was probably an honest mistake by the pharmacy. Pharmacies usually have several thousand patients, and to be realistic its pretty much impossible to stay up on the domestic situations of each one. If they had a note on your husband, it was probably buried in the part of your profile called the DUR in which case they tech wouldnt have seen the note unless she was looking for it. I think you're also going to have to prove that your ex picked up your prescription... and even if he did, the pharmacy would be able to give you more if you had refills, though your insurance might not cover it. So yeah, you need to ask a lawyer... but IMO you dont have that much of a case... sorry about the trouble you've had though.

from your pharmacist when you get a prescription from your doctor...obviously you don't need it or you would know that. they don't sell it on the shelves at wal-mart....

ABSOLUTELY!\nIt might not even be that it is too much just a side effect\nof the particular medicine he is taking.\nThis should be discussed with his doctor so that he can either adjust the dose or change his medicine entirely.

Well if they need the medication, you gotta give it to them!\nThe docs wont prescribe meds unless they're needed. There are side effects associated with some drugs but usually the Benefits outweigh the Risks.\nJust make sure you follow directions as to not overdose? =)
