unable to fill script ## Did you try any other pharmacies? There are limits on how much they can order and have in stock per month, so it may be that Walgreens is just out at the moment and won't be able to restock until the beginning of next month. The only other idea I can give you is to contact your doctor and see if there is an alternative medication you can use. How long have you been on Exalgo? Learn more Exalgo details here. ## find a local neighborhood pharmacy-they want the business and will make sure you get it in 24 hours or less unlike the others that want to order and take 4 days or will decide you should not have it. CVS and Walgreens both do that. When exalgo first came out it was ordered for me at the pharmacy and when I went to pick it up the pharmacist would not fi...

I have read quite a few post here about walgreens and the shortages. There is no shortage. It is a lie. Yes, they are only aloud to order 4 bottles of 100 count per week. Here's something you may not know. Walgreens has a black list. If for some reason, you look like a addict or say something to piss off the pharmacist, you will make that list. Then, you can forget ever getting it filled at any walgreens pharmacy. They don't want the hassle nor want to deal with the DEA. I have seen someone make that list before. The pharmacist pulled out a card and wrote something down, later he entered it in the computer. Now, on a good note, I stayed with my same walgreen and same pharmacist and have never had a problem. I read these forums and got all worked up and expected a problem today. ...

Educate yourself... articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-10-11/news/os-walgreens-dea-oxycodone-20121011_1_walgreens-pharmacy-distribution-center-dea {link is dead} All pharmacies in Florida have been put on notice by a memo from the DEA that the DEA rules concerning the amount of 30mg Oxycodone that can be dispensed under the old out-dated rule (600 per month) will be enforced, rest easy this case was filed in DC & E VA. Walgreen Co. v. Holder, 12-1397, the outcome will set a new legal precedent for the DEA to follow. The DEA is playing with Florida over Oxycodone the way they are with medical pot in CA. ## Personally, I just find it very sad that so many people are suffering, because they can't get their needed medications. However, the problem isn't just isolate to Walgreens ...

I live in FL, and Florida has a "Darth Vader-like", evil governor, Rick Scott, who is intruding into every aspect of our lives, including medically and pharmaceutically. I know patients, such as injured ex-war veterans, who really need these medications. I also have a rheumatoid-sickle cell condition, and often I'm in immense pain, but I wouldn't dare ever ask for these f----king medications, although some of us are legitimate & really need them!!!! I HOPE THIS MOTHERF____ER SCOTT FRIGGEN GETS OUT OF OFFICE YESTERDAY, because I hate this clown. He needs to be RECALLED, as was Alvarez, in my county of Miami_Dade, FL. Get these jokers and chickenheads out of office and out of our bloody lives!!!! ## Hi Mary M, I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations, it's unf...

I have been on pain medication for 12 years. I need methodone 10 mg #135. I can't get it without an average of 10 pharmacies. I'm luck to get it at all. Pharmacies say they won't order in advance. I live in Altamonte Springs but would travel a distance to get it. Any sugestions. ## Well, the main issue here is that there were certain laws that pharmacies in various areas of the U.S. were found to not be enforcing and the FDA and DEA are cracking down now to make them do so. They are actually only allowed to order and keep in stock a certain amount each month and many were exceeding that amount regularly and just ordering in more whenever they had a customer that needed it, or to just have it in stock. However, since there are yearly manufacturing limits, this was adding to t...

I just bought Walgreens acetaminophen extended release caplets 650mg. Batch number 2349073. When I called the 800 number I was told it was manufactured in a lab in NJ. Can you verify this? ## who is the manufacturer of the Walgreens brand of acetaminpohen? Where is it manufactured? ## @Richard, Based on my research, Walgreens brand acetaminophen is primarily manufactured by LNK International, Inc.; which is a U.S. based manufacturer or private label brands of over the counter products for many U.S. stores. Their headquarters, manufacturing and distribution facilities are all located in Hauppauge, NY. However, not all Walgreens carry Acetaminophen made by the same company. I hope this helps! ## what is the difference between Tylenol and Walgreens Acetaminophen?

I am hearing that Walgreens is putting a 24-48 hour hold on my ADHD Medication, Adderall. Are the rumors of an Adderall shortage true? If I could afford Vyvanse I would prefer to be prescribed them, but I can't. I have been getting the generic Adderall for over two years now and I was prescribed them 20 years ago in High School. I am curious to know if it is true and why? If my date on my script is the day of fill, why would I have to wait an extra one or two days without them? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? Have you actually been told this by someone in the Walgreen's pharmacy or is it just a rumor you've heard? I haven't heard anything about this and see no reason for them to do so, unless they have to order the medication in, or contact the doctor to ensure that it'...

Walgreens Dairy Digestive Lactase

Lactase is an enzyme produced by many organisms. It is located in the brush border of the small intestine of humans and other mammals. Lactase is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk; it breaks down lactose, a sugar which gives milk its sweetness. Lacking lactase, a person consuming dairy products may experience the symptoms of lactose intolerance.[1] Lactase can be purchased as a food supplement, and is added to milk to produce "lactose-free" milk products. Lact...

Walgreens new Camber 5mg Percocet is not coated. Blue dye is bitter, upsets stomach and stains tongue. Pharmacist stated I wasn’t supposed to place pill on tongue. He stated ALL Tylenol is bitter. Told him I’d have to suck on a Tylenol to experience this taste. Does anyone know what blue dye is for? Also, this brand, from India, relieves pain, if at all, for maximum of 2 hours. What a rip-off! Who handles quality control in India? If they’ve setup shop here, it’s to import this crap legally. Husband has same problem w/Camber’s10mg Percocet, but atleast they r coated. ## Hi Caren, Lets answer your questions one at a time. Blue dye is used to color the pill, think of food dyes. The reason that the pills are colored is because the FDA ensures that medication i...

I've been dealing with the head pharmacist at Walgreens in Santa Clarita for about 5 or 6 years now. I've been very happy and he is a professional person. I went for my January rx and found out they quit selling my Watson brand and gave me some other junk. So I called HQ about this problem and complained. So after all this Walgreens restocked Watson Brand again. So that was settled and I was happy. After a day or so the head pharmacist named {edited for privacy} was let go of after working 23 years. I am so stunned. This person gave Walgreens 100 percent and worked his but off. I and lot of other people are pissed off at this pharmacy, Santa Clarita store. After 23 yrs of service you think this ungrateful store would stand behind their workers. Those FAT CATS who sit behind thei...

Do you sll sercbetahistine im looking onlne it says you do ## Hi Daryl, What exactly are you trying to say regarding "Betahistine"? ["Do you sll sercbetahistine im looking onlne it says you do" / "serc betahistine walgreens"] - That doesn't make sense? Are you asking if Betahistine is available at Walgreens? If so, you should probably try giving their pharmacy department a call, as inventories or compounding services may vary based on locations. Please post back if you have any other details to add...

For quite some time now, I have counted my Pills from Walgreens and the Count Was Short a few times already. Now I'm short on Neurontin Pills I didn't Count; And I'm Short Of My Pills For A Few Days!!!! Which means I have to do without my Medication for a Few Days and To SUFFER because they MISCOUNTED MY PILLS NO TELLING HOW MANY TIMES!!!! I've thought other Prescriptions were SHORT COUNTED in the Past...BUT NOW I HAVE TO DO WITHOUT SOME OF MY MEDICINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS!!! WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM WALGREENS PHARMACY?!!!! ## @Rhett2100, I'm very sorry to hear about your situation with Walgreens. Miscounted pills are something you don't typically hear about too often, but to do it on multiple occasions like that is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion as ...

According to the following article from Walgreens (dated February 2023), there are a number of key factors that may be influencing potential drug shortages when it comes to Adderall and other popular prescription medications as well; including but not limited to post-pandemic supply chain constraints (such as manufacturing issues and other industry-controlled factors, such as raw materials), increased consumer demand, and federally regulated rules surrounding certain medications, to name a few. [1] [2] Walgreens themselves go on to admit that pharmacists should be the ones keeping their providers informed on drug shortages to ensure patients can get the medicines they need as quickly as possible - whereas in some instances, a medication may be available, but the specified dosage is no...

Has anyone else gotten weak a214's from cotati walgreens? ## Just because it may seem weak to you doesn't necessarily mean it's a fake medication. There can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient, so if you haven't taken this one before, it may just have slightly less of it than the ones you were used to taking. Or, it could be that you've built up a tolerance to this dosage, so it doesn't work as well for you and you may need a higher dosage, or a different medication. Have you taken these same tables before? And if so, for how long? If anyone isn't familiar with it, there are more Oxycodone details available here. ## Thanks for your reply, I have 13 yrs on these meds, I thought I was losing it because they weren't work and wrote it off t...

I went to my local Walgreens yesterday for Wal-Act and they just stopped selling it too. Drug dealers buy too much of this med and sell it is the reason why. Abuse. I do not abuse this medication and it is the only one that works for me. I am disappointed and am looking again for an antihistamine that works for my allergies. I thought I tried them all as well as my doctor. I hope Walgreens reconsiders this one.

My girlfriend is having this exact issue. We went to a walgreens in Altamonte Springs Florida, across from Florida Hospital Altamonte. She has a spinal simulator for pain management, and it has broken, and is now malfunctioning and sending electrical shocks straight into her spinal cord. To have this implant put in it required drilling holes in her vertebre...this is NOT a small procedure. This of course is causing great amounts of pain. We went to the pharmacist with a prescription given by her doctor, and we have no problem waiting for it to be verified. The Pharmacist we find out later blacklisted her, and now she cannot get ANY meds from Walgreens, even cold medications. So not only can she not get her pain meds, she cannot go to any Aalgreens for any medications whatsoever. We foun...

I too, went to get my monthly refil of oxycodone at Walgreens. None available. My pain pills are the only thing that allows me to lead a normal life; one without terrible, crippling pain. Do not know what I will do. Taking a large amount of over the counter pain meds is very bad and make me sick to my stomach. ## Hello, Sydney! How are you doing? Did you try any other pharmacies? This late in the year, there are often problems getting controlled substances filled, for two reasons........... One: Each pharmacy is restricted on how much they can keep in stock each month, it is based on their size and amount of customers. Once they run out each month, they cannot order more, until the following month. This is a DEA directive. And second: The DEA also restricts the manufacturers, they are e...

I have read all the posts and found that the best way i found is on the 29th of aug i talked to the pharmacy manager and explained the dilemma i was facing and she told me just to transfer all my other scripts to her location and then drop off my oxy script and methadone and that they would order them for me if they were out.Bam ten days later i got a call yesterday that they had my script filled and to come pick them up.Hope this helps those having problems getting their meds filled.Good luck and god bless. ## That was actually a very good idea, because pharmacies are usually allowed to be more lenient and helpful to their regular customers, so by transferring all of your prescriptions to them, you basically made yourself a regular customer.

I am having some concerns regarding this med from WALGREENS. They are pale yellow....I chewed on one and looked at my tongue. What I saw was very unusual. The substance of the pill was very bright yellow. It was gummy on texture like a eatery spackle or paste. It was thick and didn't dissolve. It had no taste really. I left it on my tongue for 20 minutes. I had zero numbing to my tongue. I used to break part of a pill and place on a breaking tooth...it would numb the nerve very quickly. Also I put end of fingers in mouth and rubbed the substance. More than that it stained my fingers yellow. Like food coloring does. Try these yourself to see. I called Camber. Sent pictures of my tongue and fingers. They take the pain away but zero normal side effects. I talked to Camber, they told me...
