  Awful dangerous menacing pharmacist at the Nutley Street CVS. I picked up a prescription for my girlfriend there. A strong anti seizure medicine. The physician recognized this and wrote very specific directions stating to take 25 milligrams for the first week and then gradually increase to taking 50 milligrams the second week. When I got home and opened the prescription I saw that the cvs pharmacist only gave the second strongef dose pills. I called. She apologized and explained the senior pharmacist there did not want to open a package of the lower dose pilks to fill my girlfriend’s prescription properly. I told her this is unacceptable. Pharmacists are required by law to dispense prescription medication exactly as the physician ordered it. They are not empowered to make unilateral decisions about dosing. I am copying the epilepsy association later today and will advocate strong sanctions against this willful ignorant practice and this specific pharmacist. CVS buying Aetna? Spells trouble for all Americans trusting their cvs pharmacist. I’ll stick with the pharmacists at Walgreens Safeway and ANY other pharmacy who follow the laws and regulations of the state of Virginia rather than act as sole decision maker over a client and clients physician. Disgrace!!!!!!!!

  This location is easily the most incompetent I've ever come across, and there are plenty of terrible CVS stores. I have had several prescriptions messed up over the years, but I've had two controlled substances incorrectly administered to me in the last two months. The second time the pharmacist admitted she knew it was wrong, and that my original medication wasn't in stock. She didn't disclose any of that to me when I dropped it off, despite me waiting for the prescription. She didn't seem phased whatsoever that she gave me something different. At least with the first error, that pharmacist was genuinely concerned. But this woman was rude and clearly did not take her job seriously. If it wasn't for my insurance company, I would not go to any CVS location. I will no longer visit this location even if it was an emergency.
