Fill Rx

100+ Topics Found

Is it the insurance or pharmacy who decides if an early refill is ok? I'm talking 3-4 days early. ## That's a good question. I'd recommend double checking with your insurance company just to be sure... but I wanna say that it probably is the insurance who has the say, if they are the one's paying for it. Some policies I've heard of actually state that you can't get a refill until you're at least 75% through your prescription. And apparently that is calculated/determined from the date you first got it filled. 3-4 days early sounds like it fits comfortably above that margin, so you may be just fine, depending on the type of insurance you have. I'd imagine that other companies policies could also be a lot different as well. I hope this helps!

How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. No, this is now a schedule 2 medication, so pharmacies will not fill one that has been written by a doctor in another state, due to the difficulty...

I live in Ca n I'm going to Idaho n I have my post dated methadone RX but I'll still b in Idaho when its time to get filled so will they fill it over there or do I have to cum back to Ca to fill it ## As long as the script is a legitimate prescription, & can be verified by your prescribing Dr, it can be filled anywhere. If for whatever reason you're unable to fill, I would suggest getting in contact w/the methadone clinics to help you till you get back home. Take your script w/ you & they would prolly be able to help in some way. These are what we have for clinics: Boise Center for Behavioral Health (208) 376-5021 Raise The Bottom Addiction Clinic (208) 433-0400 Meridian Center for Behavioral Health (208) 288-0649 Not sure of any in Nampa, but not much ever is in Nam...

Where can I fill my prescription st. Louis mo? ## Where can I get oxycodone 80 mg filled in st. Louis mo? ## I'm not in St. Louis, so I really can't give you an answer to that, but I can give you some advice that may help you with locating it. My first piece of advice is don't call the pharmacies asking if they carry it. The reason for this is because, in most cases, you will not get an accurate answer. Due to the risk of theft, most pharmacies will just automatically tell you no, they do not keep it in stock. When you are just a voice on the phone, they have no way of knowing if you are a real customer with a legitimate prescription, or a thief that may come in later to rob them. This means you will actually have to physically go in to the pharmacies in your area, so you ca...

How early can you refill a 20 day narcotic pain medication? ## Hello, Jay! How are you? It really depends on your pharmacy. Some will let you pick it up a few days, before you're out, but many will want you to wait until the very day it's due for a controlled substance. The FDA warns that these medications have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I went hospital they Thursday pills oxycodne 2 every 6 hours. Today I had surgery surgeon give Norco 7.5 I fill Saturday new rx Norco 7.5

So I've been on suboxone for almost a year. I know no early fills and the whole deal. But this month it's been a fiasco. Last month dropped my rx off at Riteaid but got partial fills. The last partial fill was for 5 strips which is 4 days but in the system the tech put that it was 12 days because of that error when I brought it to CVS this month they fill half of it and charged me full amount. (Even with insurance it costs me a hefty penny). I asked the pharmacist and tech wHy my insurance didn't cover it, and she said it was a day to early. At that time it seemed odd since I hadn't had my daily dose because I had to make my appt a day later than usual. Frustrated they kept checking the system and told me I last filled 6 days ago for 12 days so I should be fine. I told h...

I was informed I have to change my blood pressure med. to a drug that comes in generic form.Will no longer fill my Bystolic 10mg.Gave my physician a list of meds. to change for me. Have taken Bystolic for several yrs. So now I'm concerned! Will try Coreg. Any advice or warnings on Coreg? So unfair- thanks Express Scripts for deciding just to play around with my meds. Wish I could afford to pay for Bystolic but nope. ## Hello, Patsy! How are you? I took the generic for Coreg, Carvedilol, for several years and it's known to cause less side effects than most others. The main warning I have is to watch for Raynaud's Phenomenon in cold weather. It tends to cause it in some people or worsen it in those of us that already have it and that was the biggest problem I had with taking i...

I live in riverside county Ca. 92553. I recieve a rx from my pain dr. for the past 2yrs. Why won't no pharmacy fill my rx.They can call his office n his staff he will verify it.All the pharmacies keep saying it's on back order, they don't carry it,n no one will order it for me. Did the DEA change the rules on filing methadone in California? HELP! IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2WEEKS. ## Sorry to hear about your troubles trying to fill this medication. From what I understand, many patients are having the same challenges across the Nation with regards to filling just about any type pain medication script over a certain dosage. Apparently the DEA has been cracking down heavily on pain medication abuse "within FL."; even suing Walgreens $80 million for filling too many Oxycodone ...

were in fl can I get a rx filled for methodone 10 mg ## I'm sorry you are having such difficulties getting your prescription filled, but I am afraid that I don't have an answer for you at this time. It is fairly common for shortages to occur towards the end of the year, due to mandatory manufacturing limits on controlled substances. In addition to that, Florida pharmacies are now being forced to comply with the mandatory ordering/stocking supply limits that they were ignoring for a very long time. Learn more Methadone details here. Do you have insurance? If so, the best suggestion I can make is that you see if they have a preferred mail order provider that you can use. That may enable you to get it filled faster. ## Why is this going on here? I have insurance and prime mail deni...

Oxycodone is yesterday's news, get over it!!!! You all need to stop crying, and face fact's, Roxyies are gone!!! Don't dispare, Zohydro Er just got approved by, Money,Lobbyist, and the DEA. Packs 10 time the punch of Roxies!! My neurologist of 12 year's said I'll have my Rx's for Zohydro next month, and yes, there water soluble. I'm missing 4 disc's in my lower back, and can't get them replaced because of the FDA., won't allow more than one disc's installed in USA., and Busted Cross & Broken Shield of FL. won't pay for having them installed in Europe so I'm must save my pennies up since it will cost me $250,000 to have done in Europe! Which I will do! Google Zohydro, if you think I'm kidding, Best of luck trying to keep getting...

hi my name is greg, i always have a hard time filling my scripts im wrote for 120 30s, 120 15s and 60 xanax bars. i had a bad motorcycle crash. im only 26 years old so most pharmacies think im selling them or shooting them. i could never shoot up gotta phobia of needles if anyone can help. u can reach me at 828 xxx xxxx. please help ## Well, the issue is really due to the fact that having two prescriptions written, for the same medication, in different dosages, is highly unusual. The normal pain control regimen would be having one that may be the instant, or regular release formulation and the other being for the time released Oxycontin. Pharmacists are actually required to watch for this type of thing. Is there a special reason that your doctor doesn't have you on a time released m...

Hello. I just moved here from NYC and I have serious lower back issues. I was in a car accident in 2000 and have 2 herniated disks in my back and have been on hydromorphone for years. I saw a Doctor here in my new town and he gave me the rx, then came the nightmare. I drove to over 50 pharmacies to only be told "we're out of that rx and even had someone from walgreens pick up a piece of paper and start reading me a script as to why he cant fill it. I have aetna insurance and sent the rx in for home delivery and they said they would have no problem filling the script, I sent it in and again was told they wouldn't fill it. I have been on this medication for years and I desperately need help. I see on these forums that other people are having the same problem. I don't want ...

I am looking for a pharmacy in Hernando County (spring hill area) that will fill my Rx of Oxycodone 30mg (120). I am paralyzed and wheelchair bound and have been to 15 pharmacies all who are out any suggestions on where to try? Thanks ## Hello, Scotty! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're having a problem getting your prescription filled. Have you found them, yet? We are now into the time of year when shortages usually occur, due to the DEA mandatory manufacturing limits on controlled substances. Once each manufacturer reaches their limit, they cannot manufacturer any new product, until after the new year. According to the FDA, this is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth...

I'm in calhoun ga.... i need to fill my rx for 30mg oxycodone 120 count. Any suggestions?? ## I had been visiting a doctor in Cartersville and have been unable to reach his office this week for my 30mg oxicordone can you recommend a doctors office for me ## I need to find a new doctor somewhere near Atlanta, that can help me renew my 30mg oxicodone, I am having trouble trying to reach my clinic in Cartersville and I'm about to run out! Can anybody help me with a new clinic? ## My advice would be to make sure you aren't just calling the pharmacies to ask. If it's just a voice on the phone, they have no way of knowing whether or not you are a legitimate customer in need or a potential thief. Thus, most will just say that they don't stock any controlled substances. To g...

I was issued 2 scripts from the same Dr. For 10mg/325 Oxycodone. Due to Surgery last week total Hip Replacement! I know I will have to pay out of pocket cause my insurance just filled at beginning of the month. He gave me 2 due to tolerance & going through PHYSICAL THERAPY 2 to 3 times a week! Why won't a pharmacy fill this for me if I am getting them from the same Dr? ## Just have the doctor contact the pharmacist and explain the need for the two prescriptions. ## The pharmacy already told me that NO PHARMACY WOULD BE ABLE TO FILL the rx unless it was for a different strength!!! This pharmacy is so strict I started filling there a few years ago due to having to go to so many different pharmacies and they didn't have any left! They are now making me wait 30 days rather than ...

I love the physician I am seeing, but he has move his office a now I drive about an hour and a half to see him. my regular pharmacy which is right across the street from where I live is now refusing to fill my prescriptions. Some people drive hours to see reputable specialist, which these days are not easy to find these days, can someone explain to me what the problem is please and thank you? ## Hello, Dianne! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. There is a limit on how much of any controlled substance a pharmacy can order in and stock each month, it's based on the size of the pharmacy and their customer base. It used to be that this limit was rarely enforced, so when they ran out of any certain medication, they could just order more in…however,...

I have a prescription for Percocet and I used to get Endocet. They now give me Oxycodone. I don't like them. They bind me. Where can I get an Endocet prescription filled in my area? ## Both Endocet and Percocet contain the same active ingredients, which is Oxycodone, and Acetaminophen. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. While constipation can also be a normal side effect, it can often be alleviated by increasing your fiber intake, if your doctor approves of you doing so. Is this the only medication you are currently taking?

I recently filled my monthly adderall Rx and it was damaged during flooding from hurricane. I brought it to my dr who verified it, destroyed and wrote a new rx. FL pharmacy won't refill early, nor will insurance. Question is, if I mail order it from out of state, can that bypass the fill date verification?

I take 10/325 vicodine. My doctor puts on the RX to fill on the 5th of every month. I get 120 and take 4 a day. I run out early a few times a year because if you count the days from the 5th of last month when I got them filled to the 5th of February it actually adds up to to like 32-33 days on some 5th to 5th dates which causes me to run out 2-3 days early. The pharmacist says even though it's a 30 day supply they still can't fill it until the 5th because that's what the RX says. Does the new law address this? Any suggestions? ## The new laws and directives actually place more restrictions on it, so your pharmacy no longer has any leeway and can't fill it until the date the doctor has directed. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming an...
