All pharmacy transactions, including many, many "OTC" sales, are heavily surveilled. I can't buy freakin' dramamine withouth showing ID, even though it's "OTC" here. It wouldn't be very surprising for an insurer to have access to that stuff.
- newfonewhodis 4y agoInteresting. Is that specific to your state? Here in WA, I've never shown my ID at a drugstore even for prescriptions much less OTC>
- alphabettsy 4y agoOn the federal level pharmacies are required to log purchases for some drugs including those containing Pseudoephedrine, they are required to get ID for this. Same for controlled-substance prescriptions.
