A member asked:

Can the pharmacy call your doctor when you get your prescription filled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes Yes: If the pharmacist has any questions or concerns of whatever nature, it is very common, and generally required by law, that the pharmacist calls the prescribing doctor. This is to assist in you getting the correct medication, and complying with appropriate state & federal regulations.

I'm HIV postive and my doctor says he won't call in my HIV meds to my pharmacy unless i see him first. Is that legal? I need these meds to live and can't miss days or my body might reject it and i get sick all over again. Plus it's a hassle to get to him
