Pharmacy Changing Doc's Prescription Doses

Can a pharmacists change the doctors written prescription or more to the point can anyone other than the doctor alter or write on the prescription face to change the refill or prescribed dosage time. If not then how does one go about filing a complaint. Altering a document and with the Florida law as written would that be considered forgery.

Of course changes can be made, but they have to be authorized by the doctor and, if the prescription is for a controlled substance, then an entirely new prescription should be written to be on file at the pharmacy.

What type of changes were made and what was the prescription for?

I had a prescription filled and the pharmacist said the medication wasn't available in the strength the doctor ordered. He explained that he filled the prescription with pills half the strength the doctor specified and specified that I take two at a time. I was OK with this. It made sense to me. These weren't scheduled drugs.
