She called Walgreen to order a refill and the pharmacy told her they could not refill it because of a recall. She called her physician and he said "baloney", thats not so. He then called Walgreen and instructed them to refill it, which they did. I went online and saw where it indeed has been recalled. However, Walgreen used a form of Digoxin ( Lannett ) for the refill. Her physician absolutely ignored her after giving him a copy of the recall notice, never bothering to explain anything. I think he was miffed that we might explore this question ourselves. When we got the mail this date there was a "URGENT DRUG RECALL INFORMATION " letter in the mailbox from Walgreen. Neither the pharmacist or the doctor apparently have no interest in making an attempt to clarify or explain the difference. My question, what in the world is going on ???? One thing certain, we must have the wrong family doctor as well as the wrong pharmacy. My wife ran out of her prescription of Digoxin ( Bertek ) on May 10, 2008.
