Question:
A patient presented a prescription to the pharmacy for Oxycontin 10 mg, #60, 1 tablet bid. The patient had no insurance and told the pharmacist that she could only afford to pay for 20 tablets presently but would come back in 5 or 6 days with enough money to pay for the balance. What should the pharmacist do in this situation? Is this a valid reason for a partial fill? Does the balance of the prescription have to be dispensed to the patient within a certain time? What is in the best interest of the patient?
