Pharmacy doubles number of pills
On March 23, I had a prescription filled. After taking the capsules for over three weeks, I noticed there were still quite a few in the container. I counted 34 still in the container, even though the prescription had been for 30. I returned to the pharmacy and asked why I had so many when the label clearly called for 30. The pharmacist told me the rest were free. I wanted to know whether I had paid for 30 or 60 and he told me my payment was $18 and my insurance company paid the rest. When I asked how much the insurance company paid, he said that was between it and pharmacy.
