North Carolina Board of Pharmacy issues action against Civic Center Pharmacy, Inc. who filed approximately 4,700 prescriptions written by William Shuler and Thom Lobe, physicians with HCG Medical of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Approximately half of the prescriptions were for human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and the other half were for syringes for administering the HCG. Civic Center never frlled any prescriptions written by either Dr. Shuler or Dr. Lobe for anything other than HCG or associated syringes. Civic Center filled HCG prescriptions issued by HCG Medical for patients in 48 states (every state but Hawaii and Maine), as well as the District of Columbia and British Columbia. At the time these prescriptions were compounded, Civic Center had received an increased volume of HCG prescriptions due to its particular compounding methods. Although HCG Medical was located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and all of the prescriptions were issued from that ofhce, many of the prescriptions written by Dr. Lobe listed his address as Beverly Hills, California.
