Hey guys, so I went to my local pharmacy today to fill my prescription for Oxycodone 10mg IR - small round pink pills. But when I got back home I notice the pills are different color and have different imprints on them - K 9 small blue pills. I quickly googled the ID of the pills and it showed me that it is 30mg Oxycodone IR. On my receipt and the label on the bottle it says the usual information 10mg Oxy (nothing changed on the label). Now I know most of you guys will say that I hit the jackpot, but I started to ask myself these 2 questions:
1. What could happen to the pharmacist who filled the prescription if I don't return it? Can this person lose their job, or even worse go in jail? Because for sure they will notice they are missing 120 30mg oxys and have 120 10mgs more instead when they do their inventory and this kind of thing CAN KILL literally somebody. What could happen to the pharmacist?
2. I usually bring my pills to my doc, because he wants to have a "quick look" and see if they are about the number I am supposed to have on this specific day (the appointment day) and when he see a different color and imprints, I suppose he will recognize they are 30s and not 10s or at least will check the ID. So can I get in trouble with him? Or can I say that "the pharmacy gave me the pills like this and I thought it's just a different manufacture".
So what do you guys think? If there aren't any serious consequences for the pharmacist (I don't want a person to go jail or something like that) I can maybe keep them. And what about the doc? I don't see how I can get in trouble with him, when actually I am the one who is "the victim" in the case. Any thoughts?
