Even if it's something like oxycodone? No pharmacy around here would ever give you more of stuff like that than exactly what your doctor prescribed.

The doctor prescribes the amount in the box, so the pharmacy gives you what the doctor have prescribed. It is also the doctor who writes how much, when, how and for how long you should take the meds and your responsibility to use it as described.

Quick search in the online catalogue over medicine that the doctors use. Oxycodone is in boxes of 30 or 100, with 3 different set of dosages and the doctor will prescribe one of those and either for one box or three depending on what your needs are, just like with any other kind of meds. You also pay between 14 and 60$ for it, depending on the dosage and price.

Interesting.

I was prescribed oxycodone for a minor eye injury once. It was going to hurt like hell but only for a couple of days, so the doctor prescribed me a couple of days' worth, which I think amounted to something like 10 pills at most. Since it's an addictive substance that can be re-sold on the black market and used for non-medical purposes, giving me more than what the doctor said I needed - for example, giving me the equivalent of a month's supply for someone taking it long-term - just would not be allowed.

You can be prescribed something and told to take it until the problem goes away, which might leave you with leftover medication, but that's only because the doctor prescribed enough to make sure you were covered, not because the pharmacy gave you extra.

We don't have the same stigma* around narcotic pain relief (prescriptions) as it seems to be in a lot of other places in the world. Most people would not sell their pills, it happens. But the doctors job is to make sure their patients don't abuse their drugs.

Also I thought I made it clear? The pharmacy never gives you more pills than the doctor prescribes, it just so happens that once in a while the box have more pills than you might need.

*Negativity? Issues? I don't know which word to use: Let's put it this way, the fact that House was addicted to pain meds is not seen as badly in Norway as in America, because he needed them and in the earlier seasons did not abuse them.

Also I thought I made it clear? The pharmacy never gives you more pills than the doctor prescribes, it just so happens that once in a while the box have more pills than you might need.

Nah, you made that clear. It's just that here, the number of pills in the box is made to match what the doctor prescribes, not the other way around.

That would mean our doctors would have to do math*... They use the internet page I talked about, which list every medicine that is legal to sell in Norway with prices and quantities**, so they just look it up and prescribe whatever fits the patients needs closest.

*Joke if that wasn't clear
**Also for animals, as we buy prescription meds for our pets at the pharmacy too.

I think there's one major pharmaceutical chain only that does veterinary medicines as well, this side of the North Sea. We used to go to them for one of our dogs' long-term medications, an enzyme powder that she needed in order to digest her food properly, because they were a lot cheaper than what the vets would have charged if we'd got it through them.

They also sell other medicines a pet might need. Parasite treatment for dogs, cats and horses, calming pheromones in several different forms of delivery, even non-prescription mild sedatives for times like Bonfire Night when there's fireworks going off everywhere and stressing pets out.

Hm, that is interesting anything you need to your pets that are prescription only you go to the pharmacy* anything else you buy at the pet shop or vet.

*All pharmacies in Norway have the same medicine, just different names on the door and some sell more makeup and stuff than others.
