Suboxone Insurance And Time Frames

I went to the pharmacy and intended to fill 60 count of suboxone, but they only had 34 to fill at the time and told me that i could get the remainder in 17 days which I thought was weird first off. Then next question was I was charged 50 bucks the first time then charged again when I went to fill the rest of my prescription! Which was only 13 days from the original 17 days they told me! So why was I charged twice for the same script? Ams why was I told to wait 17 days to pick up the remainder of my script?

As to why you had to wait to get the rest, they most likely ran out. Every pharmacy has a limit on how much they can order and stock of any given controlled substance per month. Once they run out, they are forced to wait, until their new ordering period to order more and these dates may not necessarily be the first of each month, it could be mid-month or otherwise.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Were you overcharged? They may may have just charged you for the amount you were given the first time, they had you pay for the rest, when you picked up the remainder.
