🤬Express Scripts is sending cease & desist letters to pharmacists for calling out unethical acts on Twitter. It's time to get louder as they're destroying pharmaceutical care, forcing patients to bake meds or risk delays as the only coverage option @DGlaucomflecken @linakhanFTC
Express Scripts uses billions of $ to monopolize the industry. They buy lobbyists to ensure that legislators don't hear the cries of patients & pharmacists. Their attempts to silence will not work. This fight to save pharmacy is to save lives. Silence isn't an option. @BedoyaFTC 
What is Express Scripts going to do? Take away $$ that pharmacists have worked hard for? They're doing that already. After starting Twitter & uncovering daily fraud w mail order, I learned a lot from #RxTwitter. Some pharmacists have now closed their doors due to Express Sxripts
Every pharmacist when a doctor doesn't write the controlled drug prescription correctly
When the service lead pharmacist tries to understand why senior pharmacists wont use their independent prescribing but more junior ones will !

Ok #RxTwitter, straight talk. I had an AA patient come to my pharmacy a while back. He was covered in tattoos, and was trying to fill a Norco script for 10 pills.
By the time he got to us, he had been to at least 6 other stores that told him they didn’t have it. 1/8

Now, There was some kind of typo on the script like Vicodin 5/325 or something, I don’t recall but basically all I had to do was call the MD and he verified the script right away and I was able to fill it. 2/8
In the meantime this young man had spent 3 days in pain because people took one look at him and decided nope, not filling this. Nobody bothered to call for verification and I find it very hard to believe in a 25 miles radius, nobody had 10 Norco 5/325. 3/8
