Re: Methadone on backorder for nearly a month!
I had Walgreens transfer an opioid prescription to another pharmacy several years ago. The only problem was that the second pharmacy was also short and could only partially fill my prescription. They said that once they start filling a prescription, they cannot transfer back for a partial fill.
