What Happens If Kroger Pharmacy Shorted Me 30 Xanax

I got my refill Tuesday the 6th and today I noticed that the bottle looked short, I counted and there are 30 short. When I get 90 a month, I have been prescribed these for long time, and have always gone to krogers. This is the 1st time this has ever happen. Will they reimburse me my 30??

REPORT

This happened to a friend who was dying. I don't think he ever had his missing pills replaced, although he did alert the pharmacy, I once got my refill with a few missing but you should contact the pharmacy director. Will they replace them, maybe

In most cases, they won't, since this a controlled substance and, once you leave the pharmacy with it, they have no way of knowing if you took too many, sold them, gave them away, or etc. But it never hurts to alert them to the problem.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, and headache.

Years ago, when I was on pain management, I came up short a couple times on my pain medications, that was long before all these new regulations, so the pharmacy did replace them and later discovered an employee was skimming off the top, so to speak, by taking just a couple from each prescription, they were able to pocket a lot of pills every day and most people never noticed they were short. The first time it happened, I honestly thought it was me, that I'd dropped a couple pills, or accidentally double dosed, but when it happened again, I started asking questions and counting them immediately.

That is another thing you can do, the next time you get it filled, ask them to count them in front of you at the counter, before you leave to be sure you receive your full prescription.

There are some cases where insurance companies may not want to cover the amount prescribed, but they should inform you if that is the case. That's what my pharmacist did, our insurance only covers 2 Prozac per day and my doctor has me on 3, but since it isn't a controlled substance, they just let us buy the additional 30 tablets.

Has this happened to anyone else?
