Pharmacy Under Fire For Prescription Mistakes

A Walgreen's pharmacy is getting attention after making two mistakes with prescriptions.  A Galesburg woman dropped off a prescription for vicodin last week but when she went back to get it 30-minutes later someone else had already picked it up.  And unfortunately, the pharmacy couldn't refill the prescription.  Her doctor had to write a new prescription for a different, weaker type of medicine.  It's not illegal in Illinois for someone to pick up a prescription for someone else.  Some pharmacies ask for personal information when a person picks up a prescription but it's not required by law.  Walgreens issued a statement saying they followed all procedures when they dispensed the medication.  It's the second time the same Walgreens pharmacy has made an error in the past few weeks.  Another woman says the pharmacy got her prescription wrong four times.
