A member asked:
I need to know what is the reason for my pain doctor to want to count my pain medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is important: For physicians to keep pill counts so that pills do not make it to the streets and prescribing rules are being followed. This is not personal, just something physicians have to do to assure safe practices.
