Can anything be done about stolen prescriptions?like will they refill or Next refill day?

Question

a prescription was stolen from me 2 day and i just got it filled 3 days ago.will the pharmacie help me or no?if they can how

Answer 1

If it's for a controlled substance, you're probably out of luck.

I don't know any doctors who buy that excuse, even if it's true. I don't think the pharmacist can replace it without another prescription.

A police report is probably the place to start.

Answer 2

I think you should DEFINATELY file a police report. If its a controlled substance and those drugs end up being sold with your name on the bottle and it was never reported stolen, you can have a lot of uneccessary explaining to do.

Second of all, talk to your doc and see what he can do for ya. Bring or fax that police report in, if they have no reason to suspect you, I don't see why they wouldn't help ya. But for your sake, no matter WHAT the meds are, file a police report so you are not held liable for what happens to that bottle with your name on it.

Answer 3

you need to report the theft to the police dept...get a complaint copy...that's the bare bones of a refill

Answer 4

You don't have to file a police report.  Just go to your doctor's office and explain what happened.

Based on your reputation as their patient, they'll write you a new script or not.  

If they think you are being sneaky, you're probably out of luck.

If your medication was covered by insurance you might have to pay full price for the replacement.
