Doctors write prescriptions and pharmacies fill them. The only role I see is if patients come in with bogus scripts or a doctor is filling too many scripts from one doctor or too many pills ordered for one patient. I avoid pain medication even ibuprofens. Nonsteriodal antinflammitory drugs are one of the leading causes of kidney disease and failure in Europe.
