If you have a legal prescription for Lortab will you still fail a drug test?

If you've been taking your prescription for Lortab obviously, yes, you will fail because it would be in your system. However, you have a legal prescription for the medication, which would basically exempt you from the failing, and your employer cannot let you go since you are prescribed them. Your employer may require some sort of proof of the prescription, though, such as your current bottle of medication or a letter from your doctor.

Can you choose not to have insurance cover a prescription medication and pay full cost?

Yes, of course you can. You can take your prescription to a diffrerent pharmacy and you don't even have to tell them you have insurance. You can specifically ask that your pharmacy doesnt submit your prescription through insurance... but they still might inform them or at least inform the doctor. They do that to make sure you are not getting a controlled substance too soon. But if you are worried about it, just have the doctor call in that medication to a different pharmacy or have them give you the prescription and you take it to any pharmacy you want. When they ask you if you have insurance, so no. Hope that helps. :)


How do you make reading glasses?

You will have to find over the counter reading glasses that EXACTLY match your prescription. This may be easy if your prescription is only for spherical correction and is identical in both eyes. However if you have any astigmatism (cylindrical correction) or the prescription for your eyes differ, then you will have to stay with the prescription reading glasses as over the counter reading glasses are not intended to correct such problems.However even given what I said above, it still may be worth your time to get a pair of over the counter reading glasses even if you cannot exactly match the prescription as a backup pairshould something happen to your prescription ones. But make sure the spherical correction matches your prescription with no more error than half a diopter in each eye (especially if the eyes are different) and try them in the store before buying to make sure they seem OK and don't give you a headache or dizziness (if you have astigmatism).But remember that if the optometrist that wrote your reading glass prescription had felt that over the counter glasses were adequate for your needs he would have told you to just pick up a pair at the drugstore and given you a single number for the spherical correction you needed instead of spending the time to write a full optical prescription.

If you took several xanaxs then had to take a drug test even though you have a prescription can you still fail the drug test?

Assuming you can show proof of a valid prescription then you will not have a problem. Only the most advanced tests can determine how much of a medication was taken. Standard tests only test for the drug, not the amount.


Can you still use metrogel if it is brand new but is past expiration date?

If it is 'brand new', it would not be expired. If you just had the prescription filled and you are positive the date indicates expiration, take it back to the pharmacy for fresh product. They should not be selling you expired medication because it won't be at full strength. You might also report the incident to your state's Professional Licensing department.
