How can you fill a single script at multiple pharmacies? Some pharmacies
won't even let you have the script back if they refuse to ifll it, to try

script and I get the drugs. I don't get the drugs and the script back.

I was ambiguous when I said "same prescription"; what I meant was
multiple prescriptions for the same drug.

As it happens, our pharmacy law professor covered this in class. I as
a pharmacist take ownership of the paper script only when the drug is
dispensed. If the prescription is refused, the paper script still
belongs to the customer, and if I refuse to hand it back I can
technically be done for possession of stolen property. If the script
really is bogus, I doubt he'd press charges, but some of these guys
might wait for you outside at closing time. What usually happens is
that the pharmacist will make some kind of marking on the paper that
will tip off the next guy that it's bogus, or at least that it had
been already presented at a pharmacy and not filled for whatever
reason. For example, "N.K.A." (no known allergies), "Call M.D.", even
"Pickup at 5:48 PM" or what have you. If the script was entered into
the computer and rejected as "too soon", there will probably be a
notation to that effect, perhaps even a filing sticker with the
prescription number/doctor's info, etc., or evidence that such was
there and had been removed. Any of these can give the appropriate
hint.

Of course there are some guys who aren't afraid of anything. I once
saw a pissed-off pharmacist write "PHONY" across a forged script
before handing it back. I prefer to be less confrontational.

Shalom
