State Board to Request Reports of Painkiller Orders
http://wvpublic.org/post/state-board-request-reports-painkiller-orders
West Virginia’s Board of Pharmacy plans to ask prescription drug wholesalers to report pharmacies that place suspiciously large orders of painkillers or other controlled substances.
The board plans to forward those reports to the state Attorney General’s Office, which last week sued a pharmacy in Boone County, alleging it provided too many highly addictive painkillers over more than a decade.
The distributors McKesson Corp. and Cardinal Health now notify the state of such questionable orders.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/2hAI2Wi) reports the pharmacy board has agreed to send letters asking other wholesalers.
The board’s rules require they report suspicious prescription drug orders, but the regulations don’t spell out the criteria.
Distributors already submit reports on suspicious drug orders to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

It is clearly a violation of a patients rights but we are talking about the HIGH AND ALLMIGHTY DEA- what do they care about anybodys rights?! as long as they continue to help fill the prisons up with – stripping the individual of all funds- property- and freedom. Folks that are the least able to care for themselves and/ or the funds to pay for a decent lawyer- as long as they are benefiting from our aches and pains- they will continue to clamp down on pain medications
If your like my town, I had to avoid wallgreens, raleys, and cvs because of the stonewalling, late refills (2 weeks to get a refill), and insane stigmatize. I wanted to fucking cause I a seen, i bet they’d love that. My point is, I was forced into a mom and pop pharmacy and I imagine others will have similar experiences as me. then my pharmacy stats look high relative to other pharmacies because they are not being ignorant fucks
