pharmacy
I have been a loyal customer of CVS pharmacy for over 15 years. I moved from MA to CA about 4 years ago and have been with this one CVS location the whole tiime. Since switching to this pharmacy I have had trouble getting one particular prescription almost every month. I have been on this medication the entire time. My doctor sends in the prescription and the pharmacist says they have not received it. It is sent in multiple times and then I'm told it needs to be sent a different way or they need verbal confirmation. My doctor's office always responds, but somehow there is a disconnect in the pharmacy and I eventually have to get a paper prescription, waiting up to over a week without medication. It is always approved from my doctor and other doctors in the case of a drug interaction.
Yesterday ( Sat. November 2, 2019)I called in a refill for my Librax prescription. My CVS bottle says I have one refill remaining. The automated message said " your prescription needs approval from your doctor and will be filled by Wednesday ". This was not acceptable to me because I was out of medication. Without this medication my symptoms worsen exponentially. I spoke with the pharmacist in person who pulled up my chart and says that I have no more refills. That is not what the automated response said. If I had not asked about it I would have been waiting 5 days without medication and not understanding why. I told the pharmacist that my bottle says I have one refill remaining. The pharmacist said that controlled substances can only have 3 months of refills. If that is true why does the bottle say I have a refill? How is someone supposed to know this policy?
Also when I saw my doctor last month he submitted a new prescription with 5 refills. This is evidently not in your system. Again a problem that I was completely unaware of.
Now I have to wait until Monday and get a paper prescription from my doctor and bring it in.
I have been told by CVS staff that I cannot call in a refill for a controlled substance before it is due so what do I need to do to not run out of medication ?
If your store has policies about refilling certain medications why aren't you sharing that policy with your customers?
I would appreciate a response with your refill policy in detail so that I can understand what needs to be done prior to getting my prescription.
Thank you

inept, imbecile pharmacy staff
11/2/2019 Today I went to pick up a prescription, which I assumed was one of my usual ones. When I got home and took it out of the bag, I saw it was something I told them to remove from my account over six months ago! I took this stuff back and they refused to refund my money, telling me they couldn't take it back, that the dr. Called it in! Not only could...

I drop a prescription refill off yesterday(Thurs 10/31). I told the young man at the window no rush, it's not due for refill until tomorrow, Friday(11/1). I log into my account at the website this morning @ 11. The status says call in for refill. I thought that odd since I gave instructions to the guy previously. So I waited until 1PM, and checked again...

I have never been so angry! I went to my regular cvs store in cedartown, they were out of my pain medicine. Stated it would be 2 weeks before they had it back in (out of forms). I asked them where I could get them filled. I then tried walmart, they wouldn't fill because I use cvs! I called the cedartown store back for some help she the told me to go to cvs on maple street in rome ga. I drove 20+ miles to cvs in rome. Cvs there wouldn't fill my scripts because my doctor is "out of town"! That is just crazy! I finally ended up driving another 30+ miles to go back to the town where my doctors are (cartersville, ga)! They filled them, finally!
I do not understand the issue with narcotic meds, if u have the multi-security paper and a id why couldn't any cvs fill my meds?! I'm in your computer system, they can see the last date filled an that I fill them every month! This doesn't make sense! A normal trip to my pharmacy took over 2 hours and 60+ miles out of my way!
If you take these type meds for years, you cannot do without them! Not only would you be in withdrawals but could possibly die! I think your rules need to be rethought for people who actually do not abuse their meds!

unethical behavior
Around 11am-12pm I tried to purchase a bottle of alcoholic wine on November 1st 2019. The cashier accepted my ID which was completely valid. She was about to continue the purchase when she made a very rude mocking face. I became slightly annoyed and told her that "I cannot help that I look young." She replied that she could refuse service to me and I asked...

I had 2 prescriptions for my mother through hospice. I was told they needed more time -15 min. 20 min later, they called my name only to tell me they could only fill one. They could do a partial on the other. Clearly I needed it, so I said yes. They decided they did not feel like doing it, so she came back 5 min later and said "are you sure.. You haved the...

I went into CVS on Cloverdale to return some items, (a wrist brace, a black ace bandage roll, and a set of magnetic eyelashes) and to get change for a $5 bill, which I had all of the items in a little white bag. I also had another roll of black ace bandage that was opened that I couldn't return because the packaging was missing. I got a store credit and...

Been with cvs pharmacy for many many years, I have never been treated so unprofessionally or rudely. I hate complainers!!!, but can't let this one go. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who has had issues with this person, she had no problem with her behavior and it seems no one else did. That this person is allowed to behave the way she did to a customer...

My prescription had been placed by the doctor over 2 weeks ago and it still had not been filled so I decided to call. That was a big mistake - I was on hold for over 45 mins. The pharmacy tech was extremely un professional with her tone and attitude. She was inconvenienced by my call and my need for my medication and showed zero empathy towards me the...

This is not the first time I have had an issue with filling my prescriptions. However, this most recent time is a huge ball drop on their part. I had a corneal debridement on my left eye on Wednesday, October 23, 2019. I dropped my prescriptions off on Saturday October 26, 2019- this was for Vicodin for the pain the debridement brings, and Tobradex which i...

Misinformed and unhelpful staff; especially the heavy set Caucasian male with the dyed hair. The large man of Middle-eastern descent was a pretty confused individual too but I have not seen him in a while. I can write a book related to all of the mishaps at this place, but in the last experience, CVS gave me a partial dose for my prescription without ever...

Dr. Orest kozicky's office sent a 3 month prescription for Polyethylene glycol 3350 NF powder to this pharmacy on 10/21. I never got a call that it was ready for pickup, so I called on Saturday, 10/26. I was told repeatedly that the doctor never contacted them. I wouldn't accept that because the doctor's office called me to let me know that the prescription...

The reason that I like CVS is because I have always had such great customer service with everyone there. They have all gone above and beyond to give me the best prices checking all the good RX and just going above and beyond. Lately they have hired some less than par pharmacy techs and even possibly the pharmacist who don't give a damn if you get the lowest...

I am taking my Rx business to one of your competitors. This particular CVS store cannot seem to get my Rx's filled on the times that are promised. They cannot even get them filled on the right day. I'm tired of going in that store only to find out that my Rx that was ordered 5 days ago had not been filled. In the past week I have had to wait to get the Rx'...

We are a family of five. We all have pharmacy needs (prescriptions). We have been customers in this store since 2003 or 2004. Due to the seemingly large volume of pharmacy customers with ever-increasing needs over these many years, CVS has perhaps unwittingly portrayed their image as a company striving for a singular goal, that being corporate PROFIT...

Read full review of CVSgeneric crap drugs from india (aurobindo)
CVS is buying the cheapest drugs from Indian drug company Aurobindo. Aurobindo has had constant quality control problems which means crappy drugs that DO NOT WORK! CVS has always been a snake of a pharmacy by charging insurance companies more than the cash price. Also, they will charge customers their co-pay, even if the drug costs less than the co-pay. The generics that CVS is buying and selling are of questionable quality. I am transferring to another pharmacy.

I found myself with an ailment that required a few different medications and to be take in a specific order and at specific times. I was provided a small, starter quantity and the office called in my script. It took three days to fill and then they didn't have enough to last three days requiring me restart the protocol. The next script was called in and the...
