The Mommy's Place

I was reading my work forums and found this site posted on that forum. I was very interested in reading it because I have been a victim of identity theft. It was a while ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was very time consuming and stressful to fix all the wrong that had been done.

Here is the link to the site I found

Detect, Deter and Defend, Avoid Identity Theft

I am very out with the current laws on purchasing Claritin-D.

The reason I say this is because of my experience at Wal-mart Pharmacy yesterday. I assume this could have happened to me at any pharmacy I went to. I suffer allergies, and generally I take the occasional allergy tablet, if the need arises. I have food allergies and pet, and smoke allergies. I can’t eat certain foods and I don’t like to smell pets particularly cats. I have terrible allergy attacks to them, they are cute lil fuzzy things that don’t like my nose. I am traveling and one never knows if pets have been in hotel rooms, even when they say no pets allowed.

Now back to my story, a little background is sufficient. My husband went to buy two 10 tablet boxes of Claritin D and he was told he could only buy one ten tablet box. He had wanted one for him and one for me for our vacation. Thanks goodness I was there because I had to buy my own box. Wow what a mission it was too, never in my life did I imagine. I had to give the cashier my drivers license, my phone number and had to sign a statement declaring that I my information was not false and that I didn’t intend fraud etc etc. I read it all when I signed it just to make sure what I was signing. Then to top it off I thought I was paying for the one box of Claritin- D but no. I had to swipe my card again and sign to pay it. This took quite a while it wasn’t just walk in buy your medicine and leave.

I am curious now and want to know why this is done. I thought if medicine that they needed to track was suppose to be purchased by prescription. I am going to do a search online today to read up on why this happens.

Hence my first statement I am no up to date with current laws. I don’t purchase these often enough, thank goodness. I purchase it every once in a blue moon.

Well that is my post, had to vent because it did aggravate me quite a bit. If I had not needed the tablets I probably would have just left, but anyhow. 🙂 Click below for information I found in my search.
