texvet Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 After several minutes of discussion with a very nice polite lady in the VA pharmacy, summed up by me inquiring if she needed the page and paragraph of their book. We agreed that the client determines if they want to split pills or not! My next refill will be the "150 mg pills not 100 Mg's to split" Regards, Jon No matter where you go, there you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted September 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yep I plan to go see the VA supervisor of pills next trip and get some problems ironed out. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCGAS Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Does anyone know that if I get my meds by mail, and if the pills are to be split in half, if I call the Pharmacy in Fayetteville,AR will they also mail me the splitter? Or do i have to pick it up in person? I have to pay a co-pay because the drug is not part of my SC disability.. It is Cialis. 30%Depression,20% DDD, 10% Sinusitis, 10% Tinnutis AD2 HC-130H, AirCrewman, Dropmaster CGAS San Francisco CGAS Sacramento Spes meo in Deo est "Semper Paratus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder allan Posted January 2, 2010 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 2, 2010 I can tell you now the splitters from the VA are likely to be cheap ones that do a poor job of splitting. Good ones don't cost much from Walgreens/ Walmart etc. You can call the VA pharmacy on their 800 number & ask if they will send you the splitters, but you will likely need it refered from your doctor. Also, you can opt out of pill splitting altogether. Just call your Doctor & let them know you do not wish to split your pills. They will then need to prescribe the right dosage. Hope this helps.
