Everyone was just saying "God says so" is not a valid reason. Obviously there are valid reasons to not fill it. In the situation where the dosage is too high, wouldn't they try to contact the doctor or something to get a correct dosage or a recommendation for different medicine instead of just flat out refusing?

Depends on the medication and whether a change would require an entirely new prescription. Either way clarification would probably be sought out


There are also times you clarify and the doctor confirms that's what they want. Then you have a decision to make. Just because the doctor says yes doesn't mean refusal is off the table.

Exactly.

The provider can state unequivocally that the prescription is what they want but if I find that it's not for a legitimate medical purpose, I can refuse it and refer the patient to another pharmacy.

In the case of opiates, I would be exercising my corresponding responsibility as outlined by the DEA.


Yeah.

Not sure why my post got caught up in it when I stated clarification would be sought to further make a decision

But yeah

In my case (only an intern, still in school) Ive recommended a change in drug after clearing it with my PIC before making the call and just taken a verbal for it

Theres many ways it could shake out
