Hi there ~

I am sorry that you have had to deal with such a pharmacy that has botched up your medications. I recommend that you report the pharmacy to the medical board or the pharmacy board in your area. It will help keep things in check and make life better for you. I would like for you to take these medications to your doctor as well and explain as to what happened. You doctor may also report the pharmacy and recommend a different pharmacy for you. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
