Absolutely. There is a database that is easily accessible to healthcare professionals that shows what medicine you received, the doctor that prescribed it, the pharmacy where the prescription is filled, the date the prescription was filled and the date the prescription was filled. This is especially great for catching prescription drug abusers or sellers.
