Wasted on the Way Lyrics. Look around me. I can see my life before me. Running rings around the way. It used to be. I am older now. I have more than what I wanted. But I wish that I had started.
The short answer is yes.. A pharmacist may refuse to fill a prescription if they feel it is illegal, medically inappropriate, or you are drug seeking (see the previous, fairly comprehensive answer for details of the statute and regulations).
During this time, the pharmacist is not obligated to return a copy of the prescription to the patient. They can also choose to fill the prescription with a 3-day supply while they attempt to contact the prescriber to confirm the information. Copies of faxed prescriptions are also kept in the system as well.
