My doctor and I decided to use the Depo Provera shot for birth control and she gave me a prescription to have the injection before I even went home. I was then told by the nurse that they would not fill it in the hospital pharmacy nor were they permitted to administer it. She made it clear she didn't agree with that policy, but of course it's out of her hands. I was pretty aggravated that I would have to make an appointment for after I went home and then have to deal with taking my new baby to my doctor's office just to get a quick injection. I was tired, babies are hard to take anywhere and I had never had to try it before.

It seems to me that you would have to be one extreme bastard in order to refuse filling a prescription for birth control.

What if there are Jehovahs that are pharmacists or those who only believe in holistic medicine. I'm with those above that if a private or govt insurer includes a drug on their list of covered drugs, that to be a participating provider, you must provide all the drugs listed.

It is not the job of a pharmacist to pass moral judgement on medications and individuals. That is between a person and their doctor. <br /> <br /> If any drugstore chain refuses to fill such a prescription, a class action lawsuit should be filed!<br /> <br /> And I'm saying this as a person who loathes lawsuits in general I agree with the previous poster regarding lawsuits.
