"Easy pickings for a democrat leaning pharmicist when she is trying to refill a discontinued bottle"

Narcotic drug prescriptions get "special" attention when being filled/re-filled. There are several Pharmacies I've read about that are calling the Doctor's offices to verify Oxycontin scripts/refills because the abuse of it had gotten so bad.

I doub't the name had anything to do with it.

My daughter takes Oxycontin for her rheumatoid arthritis and her prescription is checked everytime she goes in for a refill--even though she goes to the same pharmacy and is on good terms with the pharmacists.

It's not the legal users of Oxy that give the drug a bad name--it's those who obtain it illegally, then remove the outer coating so it gives a bigger bang.
