My Prescriptions for Pain Killers has been refused on numerous occasions at the CVS on Springside road#2094 in westampton NJ For various reasons, I have an idea that I am being profiled, I am not one who would make this accusation lightly but I seem to be the only one who can't fill MY Prescription for percocet I have no trouble getting my Diabetes and Blood Pressure Medications but I have to send someone else for MY painkillers, I have been given all kinds of reasons why (they can't read it, it's not filled out correctly, ect.) I have told my doctor about it and he is extra careful with writing the Prescription. Last Sunday 5/10/09 not only did they not fill the Prescription the Pharmacist proceeded to grill me about how many pills I take a day and why I need them. This CVS is close to home and I have to go to a different CVS to get my Painkillers. I need to know if any other African American males are having this Problem. I went to the Mt laurel CVS who filled my Prescription without a hitch as usual 7 miles away
I called the store and the corporate HQ to voice my concerns but no one was available to speak to me. I received a call from the manager 2 days later and he informed me that he had never refused to fill a Prescription I asked him if he was on duty that day, he said no, I asked him if he had talked to the Pharmacist, he said no, I then asked him why was he calling he said that he wanted to find out what happened and assure me that something must have been wrong with my Prescription, I then asked him why was it that I couldn't fill that Prescription but had no problems with non pain medications or at other CVS stores, he had no answer he finally gave me half-hearted apology and that was that. I then started posting this ON EVERY COMPLAINT AND AFRICAN AMERICAN WEBSITE I CAN FIND
