I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. How to write what for Fentanyl patches?

Fentanyl patches, the generic for Duragesic, are very potent narcotic analgesics, one patch usually lasts for 72 hours, before needing replaced. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, constipation and dry mouth.

I have a strange question that I'm certain is going to sound bad but I can assure everyone I'm not doing anything bad... My question is about the wording used on a 50 mcg / 72 hr fentanyl patch prescription. Problem is my doc ( whom I've been with over 10 years) mistakenly forgot to write usage instructions so the pharmacist won't fill my Rx and my doc is out for a week so the office told me it would be ok to write it in myself ( ONLY because they are aware of the situation and this is a one time thing) however now NO ONE is in the office and I forgot what needs to be written. I think it should say " sig q 72 hrs" ??? If I'm wrong though it will be a disaster of course HELP PLEASE

Altering the prescription for any reason is VERY SERIOUS and in most jurisdictions is a CRIME, and in many places, a FELONY. I hate to say this but you need to check your prescriptions more carefully BEFORE you leave your doctors office.

I have been on Fentanyl patches for a very long time and you MUST pay close attention to the scripts being issued to you. Attempting to fill in the "use information" is something I would NEVER do as your handwriting is going to be clearly different which is likely to be a red flag to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist is likely to contact the doctors office to confirm the information if anything seems even slightly off track and if your writing doctor made you sign a narcotic use contract, you are likely going to need a new doctor.

If the pharmacist calls your doctor and they indicate that their copy is missing the "use instructions", you are likely to get a free ride in the back seat of a squad car, right from the pharmacy to jail. Do not pass go and you certainly won't be collecting your $200. (Monopoly Game action for those who have never played)

Just in yesterdays local newspaper a woman was sentenced to 1 year in jail and fined $5,000 for "attempting to fill a controlled substance prescription which was altered".

Just go back to the writing doctors office. The moment your doctor doesn't trust you, your problems are really going to escalate.

BJane,
I mean no offense, but if your doctors office REALLY gave you "one time special case permission" to do something which is clearly not allowed, why wouldn't they have told you EXACTLY what to write on the script?

Also, if the doctors office really did tell you this, you need to discuss this in detail as soon as possible with your doctor as they need to know what incompetents they have in their office.

I am trying to prevent anyone who reads this from making a serious mistake which could forever change their life. If you don't care about the legal consequences, then best of luck to anyone considering breaking the law.

No Dr or office personnel would ever ever give you permission to alter the script. You are a lying addict trying to forge a script. I hope you get caught

Absolutely not. Its because of people like you that cause so many problems for legit patients. I am prescribed fentanyl and I d*mned if I'm gonna help you. Next thing you know fentanyl will be taken off the market. Take your forged manufactured Rxpad and shove it up your a**

To write a narcotic and not be a medical practitioner is fraud ... you can go to jail. I would highly advise against.

Ok, I hate these people. That's why pharmacies give real pain patients like myself such a hard time, when we go with REAL scripts. I'm living with Osteoarthritis in both knees, bone on bone!
