Is it possible to have the same medications at different pharmacys?
I have expressed my concern on a former question on this site. But now I have a new question to ask since I have recieved very useful information on my previous question. My question is this is it possible to have multiple prescriptions at different pharmacy's for the same drug? Also if you suspect someone of having multiple prescriptions at diffrent pharmacy's what should you do?

The quick answer to you question is yes.
Which brings up the question of how multiple prescriptions were obtained. If from one doctor then you can report the doctor to the state medical board and the police. If there are multiple doctors, as in the person is doctor shopping, there is not much you can do other than try and contact those doctors.
Some states have a program for addictive drugs where pharmacy computers are linked to catch such abuse. This program is new and is in it's early stages.
You can talk with this person untilnyou blue in the face, it won't help. For you I suggest contacting al-anon or al-ateen depending on your age. They have a website that will help you locate a meeting place near you. Through them you will learn how others have delt with family members or friends with addictions and hopefully find away to deal with your situation.
