(Newest replies first)

When I grt my script filled (60 opana 30 mg) I am told they only have 20 and if I decide to take them I will not be able to get the rest when the order comes in.

U r not getting ripped off. ENDO pharmaceuticals was having a quality control prob sev mos ago which was shorting the pharmacies of normal stock. Now it has been cleared up. my (very professional) pharmacist told me that OPANA has now become the new "it" prescribed pain reliever and is hard to keep stocked due to the increase and also the Enormous cost of the pill. I've been on opana for many yrs and today I took in my monthly scripts and for the second month in a row they didn't have enuff. Also due to the classification of some (usually narcotics) meds, they can only fill it once for the amt they have and they only charge ur insurance for that amt. lotsnofnother meds they can give u what they have and fill the remainder when they come in

What it really comes down to is the fact that there can be no refills on a narcotic prescription and what the pharmacy would normally do would be to give you whatever amount of pills they have and then mark your prescription as having a partial refill remaining. Under the federal no-refill guidelines, they would technically be breaking the law.

However, if they aren't charging you for more than what you are actually getting, then no, they are not ripping you off.

You're best bet is, as was already stated, to try a different pharmacy to get the full refill or contact your doctor to see if they will write a new prescription for the remaining amount, so you can pick them up later.

I believe you have 3days to get the rest of whatever they short you. Check with pharmacy. Supervisor or manager first

I have been told the same thing by 2 different pharmacies, It is a federal law that the pharmacie only fill a narcotic prescription once, even if it means being short on your script. The pharmacie will contact your dr and let them know that you are short and your dr will write another script. I know you can find pharmacies that will bend the rules and fill it twice to get you the correct amount. Or you can just go to a different pharmacie that has all 60. Hope this helps
