I was discharged from Villages Regional Hospital on Thursday evening with a prescription for Morphine Liquid Solution 10mg/5ml #200 to use through the feeding port installed in my stomach.
Both Walgreens and Publix pharmacies stated they don't carry the medication. One pharmacist stated that I need to get it from the hospital. The hospital pharmacy says that since I have been discharged from the hospital they can’t fill it.
I’m in a real quandary- pain from the throat radiation is intense and, relief is no where in sight
Why would a physician prescribe a non-available medication?
Thanks
