Having Trouble Getting Meds Filled?
I'm in a Pain Management office today hearing from patients who can't get their controls filled at any of the retail pharmacies. Here in the Delaware Valley we know CVS, RiteAid, and others are saying, "No" to chronic pain patients and leaving them with nowhere to go. Are you have this experience in your area?
