Prescription Fraud in Fort Worth
Call a Skilled Fort Worth Criminal Defense Lawyer!
Some medications with major medical benefits also carry a high potential
risk of dependence. When someone becomes addicted to these medications,
they may resort to forging prescriptions or altering one they are given
in order to obtain these controlled substances. Likewise, pharmacists
who have access to prescriptions and other documents may choose to honor
or refill a prescription without authorization. These acts are prescription
fraud, and carry severe penalties if you are convicted.
