She is lucky she can even do that. If it were an opioid they would just be like “no”. At least that was the case for my aunt before she passed. She just would have to wait in pain until it was available. I think it’s up to the pharmacy if they will accept it or not, and in the best cases they would politely just say “we can’t do that”, some pharmacy techs would directly accuse her of trying to pharmacy shop to get a script fill duplicated. Luckily it didn’t happen often, I think when it did it was because there are now DEA stock limits, so it can take a while before the next order comes.
