I used to work for Walgreens and the story is simply NOT true. Most times the MD writes the rx and DOES NOT specify caps or tabs. Most times we consult the patient to ask which they would prefer or call the MD to clarify the order. Many people prefer capsules b/c they are easier to swallow and other patients prefer tablets b/c they can be cut. Cost is not always the first priority. Patient acceptance and compliance is more important. If a rx was switched it was probably done unintentionally and in the best interest of the patient. There are so many caring and helpful pharmacists out there who always give FREE advice willingly while filling hundreds of rxs a day for the community it angers me when they get UNFAIRLY portrayed by the media.

They are getting away with theft!! You can't rob someone and then return the loot as if it were a prank drill. Companies need to be held accountable for their corrupt practices. The American People aren't impress the decided to return the stolen $35 million in a settlement. YOU STOLE FROM THE TAXPAYERS, CEO's and Executives need jail time for their actions, period.

Had any of their patrons walked in stole a buch of merchandise for a year or so. Only to return it when the gig was exposed, everyone involved would face criminal charges in a court of law. Corporations are not immune to the laws of the land!!

switching drugs for profit

I'm not the least bit surprised, This super stores have to be getting their money somewhere. I bet if you did deeper, you'll find more pharmacies are doing the same.

Why doesn't the person handing over the prescription tell the pharmacist

I don't want the capsule, see what happens. If they say they don't have the

tablet, don't get it filled and ask for your prescription back. People can fight back. it's

unfortunate that they don't get shut down for this deception, our goverment just

lets it go.
