You have already asked this question, and it seems like you are taking many controlled substances.

No, you do not have a lawsuit. Just like a doctor can refuse to see a patient or release the patient from their practice, a pharmacist may refuse to fill a prescription. Obviously the pharmacist found a problem with your prescriptions. Although I do not know your situation, the two drugs you were trying to fill can interact. Butalbital is only available in combination with other drugs. If you were taking a product that has butalbital and acetaminophen (very common) along with Midrin, the amount of acetaminophen you were consuming was probably dangerous. Use of large amounts of acetaminophen over time can cause serious liver damage. Therefore the pharmacist was right to refuse to fill a prescription and contact the prescriber. Another scenario could be the fact that both of those agents are controlled substances and the law has strict rules as to how often and when these prescriptions can be filled or refilled.

In most states a pharmacist may refuse to fill any prescription they feel could be harmful to the patient. They would generally need to tell you why they didn't feel comfortable filling the prescription.
In most cases, if there were a problem, a pharmacist would just hold the prescription long enough to talk to your physician.
If the prescription is illegal, they would confiscate it. If it is a legally written, non-lethal prescription that they refuse to fill the pharmacist would be required to give it back to you so you could take it somewhere else to have filled.

I am sorry you are having an on-going migraine. Nonetheless, you have no specific, inalienable right to have your condition evaluated and your pain treated. As discussed above there are plausible reasons why your prescription is not being filled. It is very unlikely that a profession who's entire role is to safely fill prescription medications would maliciously withhold your medication. I wish you well.

depends on why they aren't filling your prescription.

what is the reason. If they suspect fraud then they reserve the right to refuse.
