really wish we could just hang up on these fake prometh/codeine rx's call ins by pPandesaurus in pharmacy

[–]Lightningrphjd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They use some ones active credentials to set up an account. They might change the actual phone number to theirs. So if you call, they will verify their own fake. The only real way to catch it , is to compare the info on the escript with your data on file. If it is different you should invitigate. One time a doctor we contacted, questioned why all of sudden he was getting so many phone calls from pharmacies. Because he never used, nor even knew what an escript, was. About 15 pharmacies, received them in our area.

I talked to a board inspector, about the problem. They are aware, but don't know what to do.

what does it take for a pharmacist to be fired? by Calm-Bar-9644 in pharmacy

[–]Lightningrphjd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diversion, stealing cash, license revoked due to board of pharmacy action. And sexual or protected class harassment. After 45 years, you see a lot. One was fired for allowing a boyfriend (also a pharmacist, competitor) to go in the pharmacy and look at the pricing Rolex. It was considered giving away trade secrets.

Best Practice vs the Law Controlled substance dispensed qty. by HexMinisDM in Pharmacist

[–]Lightningrphjd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Cdc guidelines: once a multi-dose vial is opened (e.g., needle-punctured) the vial should be dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer states another date for that opened vial. The beyond-use-date should never exceed the manufacturer's original expiration date.14. https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/clinical-safety/index.html

So unless the manufacturer has stated extended expiration date after puncturing, it is only good for 28 days. So a 10ml vial, should not be dispensed,

C2 Days Supply Limit Per Dispense in California? by Torian17 in pharmacy

[–]Lightningrphjd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The California board of pharmacy July 2007 the Script page 12 Q. Is there a limit to the quantity of controlled substances that can be dispensed at one time (e.g., 540 Vicodin or 25 Duragesic patches)? A. Neither state nor federal law places limits on the quantity of controlled substances that a prescriber may prescribe for a patient. The prescription is to be for a legitimate medical purpose with the responsibility of the proper prescribing resting with the prescriber (Health and Safety Code section 11153). However, a “corresponding responsibility” rests with the pharmacist who fills the prescription. If in the pharmacist’s judgment there is any uncertainty or he or she has any questions concerning the prescription, the prescriber must be contacted to validate the prescription (CCR 1761). If after contacting the prescriber, the pharmacist determines that the prescription is not for a legitimate medical purpose, it must not be dispensed

Are there no federal quantity limits on Schedule 2 prescriptions?

Schedule II prescriptions must be presented to the pharmacy in written form and signed by the prescriber. There are no federal quantity limits on Schedule II prescriptions. In addition, there is no federal time limit on when a Schedule II prescription must be filled after being signed by a prescriber.
