It's generally frown upon to do such as you said, but it can be done. Pharmacy don't really check to see if you are really a patient of such and such doctor. Normally, no one would say anything if the prescriptions are things like common antibiotics, allergy medications, or non narcotic pain medications (motrin, naproxen, celebrex, ect).
