I’m a cancer patient and I went to the pharmacy in my village today to pick up my regular prescriptions. Because I have nerve damage from my cancer operation I get 100 tablets of codeine every 2 ish weeks. So usually 3 boxes of 28. With a lot of other drugs
I went to put my tablets in my pill boxes for the week ahead and I’ve noticed that on the prescription label with my details on it. They all say 28tabs but each of the 3 boxes is actually a box of 100 tablets so I’ve been given 300 tablets of codeine 30mg but they had checked the all and signed them off as having 28 per box. I’ve checked each box and they do all contain 100 tablets.
I really don’t want them to get into trouble because it’s one of my life lines as it’s a small village and one of them
will drop off my medication for me if I’ve had chemo and my head is in a bucket, but I equally don’t want their counts to be off
Do I;
A. Just don’t order the codeine for a while and use up this over supply? Or
B. Take the boxes back and tell them they made an error?
