Chemist got the prescription wrong

Was supposed to be 112 pregabalin, but there is only 56.

Just my luck.

What’s the bets they refuse to believe me. Phoned them up but it is closed for the day.

At least you’ve got some for now anyway. I hope they keep records at the pharmacy.

I know what they did wrong. They picked up an 84 pill box but it had already been opened and there was only 28 in it. It even has a hand written note on it saying there is only 28 in it. I just hope they believe me.

I’m sure they’ll get you the pills.

I mean is pregabalin even controlled?

Doesn’t sound like a fun drug, if it were, I would have tried it.

Not sure if it is controlled here. Is a drug of abuse though.

Really?

Weird.

Were you able to leave a message?

I could leave a message but I would prefer to speak to them in real time. Will phone them tomorrow.

Good.

I hope they fill them,

If they give you a hard time,

Call your doctor,

Maybe they can write you a prescription for the remaining pills.

So I phoned the chemist. They want me to bring the box into them to see.

Took the box in. It Kicked off an almighty fuss. They went through into the back room - although I could hear everything. Not sure but maybe they think I was trying it on. Fair enough I suppose - there are a lot of people where I live who do.

But in the end they gave me the balance.

Thanks @GoldenRex! Slightly worried they think I was lying to them. But I suppose they wouldn’t have given me the balance if they thought I was lying, right?

True.

If I were the pharmacist, and you presented the numbers to me like this:

I would believe it.

If I had doubts, I would phone your doctor and ask if you had tried to get more medication before or had tendencies to overuse.

I feel like they saw their mistake and just wanted to make it right. I’m sure they weren’t super happy, they can’t just be screwing up people’s pills like that, but it isn’t your fault.

Good thing you caught this early.

I had this happen where i was supposed to get 250 of a pain pill and they only gave me 25. I about lost it when they said the script must have been wrong. They fixed it, though. Just took some bitching.

Yeah I think nobody wanted to admit they had made a mistake.

that happened to a relative of mine before.

We were told they would owe us the difference because they were out.

They told us at pickup, so i am surprized they said nothing.

Do pick up the remainder asap as soon as they are in stock again. We thought it was odd too.

This happened usa. I am thinking your place is likely the same.
