I used to use a small private pharmacy but they were bought our by Walgreens. As he put it, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I fax in my monthly renewal with specific instructions, i.e. if there's a generic it's usually cheaper to buy 100 without insurance than a 30 day copay. On any deviation I use large bold type. They haven't gotten one right yet.

My husband recieved a prescription but the doctor's office gave him a month's worth of samples. He gave the script to Walgreens but told them he wouldn't need it for a month. Supposedly they put it on hold but instead, lost it as they did one of mine.

I assume some errors are made because of overwork and personel shortages -some are nothing but incompetence.
