Answers:
Call your local police department's non-emergency phone number and ask them if this is legal or not.. Don't mention you're doing this to your doctor or pharmacist, in case the police want to do an investigation..

I'm no legal adviser, but this doesn't sound right to me, at all.. How would the pharmacy know whether or not you messed with the returned pills.?

My pharmacist wouldn't take back pills telling me it was against the law, once I took possession of them.. I'd had them like two minutes and decided I didn't want them..Health Question & Answer

Once it has been given to you it is yours to sue and if you don't use it, it is for you to dispose of it.. yes you can take it back to the pharmacy to dispose of it but you do not have to..

What has happened is illegal..

Yes to phoning the police non emergency line and then also tell the surgery chief receptionist or someone in charge of the surgery..

also once you have done that the Primary health Trust if you get nowhere with above but you should do..

a prescription medicine that has been filled and dispensed correctly by a pharmacy does not go back to the pharmacy.. It is illegal to resell a prescription already dispensed..

Yes!! Make a complaint to your board of licensure for Pharmacists in your state and let your Dr.. know.. Health Question & Answer

Once the pills have left my eyesight, I can't take them back according to federal law.. In this situation, if I notice the prescription is from the same prescriber, I wouldn't have any problems with it.. In a worst case scenario, I might call him/her for verification.. It is not uncommon for people to try one pain killer, determine it isn't strong enough, and come back with another prescription.. It sounds fishy in my opinion.. It is illegal to take back prescriptions once they leave.. If you can, go to another pharmacy and/or make a complaint with your state board of pharmacy..Health Question & Answer
