No, they have to account for all the drugs but a given a lee-way of five. So if for example I run out of my Fentanyl Patches, they can give me a box of five and hope I then get a prescription. If I do not, they will telephone my Physician. Now he might decide to cover the Pharmacist, get him off the hook, however I will be in trouble. Likewise I note especially with the Elderly they start off say on a Cholesterol Pill, one a day, 30 a month, no problem. Then on the 15th, they are put on a diuretic. Now the problems start, because they have a script for 30 cholesterol and 30 diuretics, which they fill and eventually will run out of the cholesterol but have the diuretic and then wonder if the Pharmacist gave them short script. So they have a lee way of 5-10 pills, but ideally they have to account for all!
You friend might have been stealing from the prescriptions, leaving the Patient short and that would be a different ball game!
Best of Luck

Pharmacists is the correct way to spell that word. No..its not easy. Pain medication, like other controlled substances is closely monitored. Everyone is accountable to someone.
