Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lovely young lady in today, new patient, but daughter of established patients. She is 20, self pay and home on vacation from England. She just graduated with an MA from some school in London, and took a job there. Did her undergrad at Xavier in Cincinnati, and while there, got started on Adderall. Once she went to the UK, she says they don’t have Adderall available, so her parents have been buying it here and mailing it to her. They have been getting the prescriptions from the same doc who prescribed it in Cinci. She did not bring records, but brought the most recent Rx, which Kentucky pharmacies have started refusing to fill because they are not written on the special controlled substance Rx paper required in KY. I don’t doubt her story, or that she finds it beneficial. Her mom would probably do well on something for ADD too. My question is about the legal implications. The DEA says no refills on Adderall, we’re supposed to follow her monthly. We can no longer write “do not fill before___” on the Rx because the DEA says no. Obviously she can’t come in monthly. How much trouble can I get into by handing her folks a year’s worth of post-dated scripts? I recommended she speak to a UK pharmacy when she goes back about what IS available there, but if there is no option, what can I do to help her and not get myself into trouble? Thanks, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
