Technically, yes your old doctor can still prescribe you medication. However, depending on what medication it is, your doctor may require you to come in for an office visit before he writes you a prescription.
It is the doctors choice whether or not to prescribe a medication. If he does so I would recommend finding a new doctor. That seems a little unreasonable.
I will ask my doctor to prescribe a new medication for my condition.
There are times when we have no choice, when the infection would be worse then the cure. When it comes to meds you should always consult your doctor when adding new ones. You must after all have gotten the prescription from a doctor.
Yes, you need to go back to your doctor so he can prescribe you a new course of antibiotic therapy, or you can actually risk making your strep case worse.
There is not a law that states if a pain management doctor in the state of Texas drops you as patient has to give you a 30 supply of your medication to taper off while trying to find a new doctor.
Yes. There are different classes of pain medications. Those that are addictive, such as narcotics, are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and require a specific license in order to be prescribed. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Naproxen do not require a DEA prescribing license. If a doctor is licensed to practice medicine, they are able to prescribe anti-inflammatories and other, non-addictive pain medications. Most Physicians and Nurse Practitioners have a DEA license, so they are able to prescribe most types of regulated narcotics. Some narcotics are strong enough that their use is usually monitored by a Pain Specialist, which may require a referral from your doctor.
Not the mild ones but you should always consult your doctor before taking any new meds.
If you voluntarily admit yourself to a hospital in New York...you become a "guest" of the state for 72 hours. They will evaluate your mental state and either release you, or you stay longer until a doctor says you can be released.
There are new guidelines that just came out, no longer can doctors prescribe Vicoden ES aka Hydrocodone, they have to prescribe either Vicoden 5.0/500mg (which will be off the market as well soon) because of liver damage. They can also prescribe Vicoden 7.5/ 325mg which is safer. It's because of the Tylenol and the side effects involving the liver. Hope that helps!!
No
There will not be a new series of Doctor Who until 2010 when the new Doctor will have taken over from David Tennant. Planet of the Dead is the first of four specials that will air in 2009 instead of a full series.
As your doctor.
