Presciption forgery is ever increasing - people take their scripts and doctor / erase them and write in their own medication needs. Presciption opiates are often cheaper and a lot safer than street drugs.

In an attempt to prevent this doctors use black ink as it is the most difficult to remove. Even so some black ball point pen ink can be removed with acetone or other solvents (requires some skill however...).

To the doctors out there - always write your scripts with a wider nib ball point GEL pen - the ink penetrates the fibres of the paper further and makes it more difficult to erase.

Finally don't forge scripts - it is a criminal offense and it's usually obvious to the pharmacist if a script has been altered.
