Dawgs Don't Share RXs

Prescription medications are prescribed by a medical provider to specific patients for specific reasons at specific doses for specific amounts of time. As long as you stay in those parameters you can legally use a prescription medication.

However, it is illegal to:

• Use prescription medications without a prescription from a licensed medical provider
• Share your medication with family or friends, even if they have the same condition or a prescription for the same medication
• Use someone else’s medication
• Alter or forge a prescription
• Use more than prescribed
• Use the medication for reasons other than what the medication was prescribed for
• Carry the medication outside of the original container
• Use the medication after the prescription has expired

If you have any questions about the legal use of prescription medications, call the UHC Pharmacy 706-542-9979.
