Certain OTC and prescription drugs definitely require an ID. Think coffee syrups and potent pain meds.

- whoosh3 4y agoPseudoephedrine, many ADHD medications and some muscle relaxants require ID.
- OmahaBoy69 4y agoYou got me curious as to which states require ID to pick up prescription narcotics as I've never heard of this living in Illinois and Colorado. Turns out each state has its own set of unique and sometimes bizarre rules: https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/menu-pdil.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/menu-pdil.pdf

- yial 4y agoYes, I believe you’re agreeing with me? As the person I’m replying to made it sound like it was a blanket need to show ID.
- yial 4y agoThat depends on stat, I suppose. In my state, none of those require ID if a prescription. Pseudoephedrine does if purchased without a prescription.
- landemva 4y agoThat apparently depends on pharmacy, as I had a friend pick up pain meds for me after a surgery.
- Auracle 4y agoIt depends on if they’re scheduled medications, and at what level. You’re not picking up either my testosterone or stimulant prescriptions without an ID. That’s in Minnesota at least, and I’m guessing they’re state level laws.
- tadfisher 4y agoThey must be, because ID is not required for scheduled medications in Oregon.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoIt's not just a question of controlled medicines. There's also the question of insurance fraud. Some pharmacies (or insurance companies?) want to make sure that, if the J. Doe's insurance is paying for it, it's actually going to J. Doe.
