 Fraudulent Rx’s for Promethazine with Codeine

 

Please be aware that there has been a rash of fraudulent prescriptions for Promethazine with Codeine lately.

These fraudulent prescriptions are being faxed in and are not being faxed on the official OBNDD prescription blanks.

These fraudulent prescriptions are also being phoned in as emergency prescriptions.

Several of these fraudulent prescriptions are submitted for a diagnosis of COVID.

These prescriptions may be accompanied by NON-CDS prescriptions in an attempt to make them appear legitimate.

OBNDD wants to remind all pharmacies and pharmacists that a faxed CDS prescription that is not faxed on the official OBNDD prescription blank is not a valid prescription.
