This is not strictly true, at least in the US. I have had to wait while pharmacists contact the doctor to modify a prescription to sub something in due to availability issues.
The mail order service through my insurer will also do this to have doctors to order a 90 day supply rather than the usual shorter supply.
- vonmoltke 8y agoYou're right, my statement was too absolute. What I meant to convey is that pharmacists cannot just ask for modifications without the knowledge and consent of the patient.
