Before I explain let me say this, refusing to transfer to another Pharmacy or giving the prescription back to the patient shouldn't be allowed. That needs to be changed.

Now to explain why refusing to fill is important. I'm a Pharmacy Tech and I'm sure there are a few of us and Pharmacist on this board. The people on this board that say you shouldn't be able to refuse to fill a prescription are ignorant. The law is there to protect yourself as a Pharmacist and the patient.

Refuse to fill can protect Pharmacist from Pill mills, fake prescriptions, forged prescriptions, terrible prescriptions (will explain), etc. A Pharmacist can lose their license over stuff like that.

If you constantly fill prescriptions from pill mills and that place gets investigated and shut down, you best believe you are under investigation as well. Also, if you believe a prescription is forged or fake and you fill it anyway.. you are responsible. They can take your license away for that.

Another thing is filling a prescription that is potientally dangerous to the patient. If you see a prescription for Gabapentin 600mg, 1 tablet, 4 times a day for a 3 year old then you are going to refuse that. (that's an extreme example lol) If you just fill it anyway because it's legal and that child dies, you are held accountable for filling such an outrageous prescription.

As you can see, refusing to fill is important. If you can't understand that then you are ignorant. I'm sure there is even more to it that Pharmacist can tell me.
