CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- People who abuse or deal prescription drugs could have a harder time shopping for doctors and pharmacies in West Virginia under two measures poised to pass the Legislature.
One aims to provide pharmacists' access to West Virginia's online prescription drug database.
Supporters say that could help them detect a common abuse practice of patients seeking multiple fills on a single prescription.
The other would bolster reporting guidelines for physicians while helping prosecutors pursue doctor-shopping cases.
