Guest guest Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Controlled medications have to recorded as to the number of pills dispensed. If they shorted you that much something major is happening there. You should seriously consider going to a different pharmacy. If you need to fill again at the same place, I would insist that they recount them in front of you, so you have proof before you leave that it was short. Once you leave it may be hard to prove. I would still pursue it with the store manager. I hope you get it resolved.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I got a phone call from the manager saying they filled my rx and gave me the rest of my pills and how it was at cvs fault and they don't know how it happened. Waiting for hubby to pick them up. I was happy that the manager called me. in az Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 glad you were able to get the rest of your pills! I have heard that some places use machines to count the pills. I think I heard that CVS was one that did. i worked at a crisis house and we had to count all pills we picked up from pharmacy. we used a CVS and a lot of the time the pill count would be off by 1 extra or 1 less. What a pain that was! Really happy you got it straightened out. I can imagine how relieved you are! huge hugs, Tami --- in AZ wrote: > > I got a phone call from the manager saying they filled my Rx and gave me the rest of my pills and how it was at CVS fault and they don't know how it happened.
