on Sunday around 4-5 in the after noon ,I went into the Giant food store in Burton ville md to prurchase some nasal rinse for my nose. I found some for the selling price of 7.99 ,but all those boxes seals where broken .The only ones that weren't broken were the more expensive boxes. with my new current budget I have no leeway . I ask if i could have the more expensive box for the smaller box price but the manager said that they where packets,so there should be no problem. i needed them so I took them

On two occasions I had problems. The first time was in the case of my son Ian Faltz. He has a touch of pheumona and my child is 5 yrs of age. The doctor put him on the antibiotcs but put on the prescription please provide in liquid form. The associate was rude in her response in telling me we only provide the pills because our antibiotics are free it didn't sound right but my son needed the medicine.

The second problem was tonight 3/31/2009 I needed a precribtion filled and because I am under medical assistance I believe the pharmacy is trying to charge me the full price. They ask me who was my doctor and the pharmacy where the last prescribtion was filled. All of that information was given to them with the old prescribtion box I handed to them days previously. I had to remind them that its up to them to keep track of such information in order to fill the prescription.

I am on a sliding scale fee and I can not afford the full price. It seems to me that this pharmacy likes to cause problems for low income people without insurance.I know this because when I had insurance everything was verified on the spot before anything was filled. Why didn't this pharmacy do this on this occasion?

Inconvience of not being able to pay and having to wait until they can re verify my information. My drive to that pharmacy was 20 min and I have an elderly mother and 2 small children to take care of

My prescription medication was filled incorrectly By Giant Pharmacy of Rockville, Maryland. I've been taking the wrong dosage of medication for approximately 5 months and have recently had some medical complications. My doctor and the pharmacy supervisor (Gregg) have confirmed this. Mr. Gregg apologized profusely and offered to fill my prescription correctly free of charge. He also provided me with the address to their Corporate Consumer Affairs office, where I will be sending a letter regarding the incident.

I have been paying for the wrong prescription medication for approx. 5 months. This medication has caused my menstral cycle to become irregular, increased anxiety, stress and emotional distress, as well as excessive acne, and excessive weight gain do the incorrect dosage. I have since had to take multiple leave of absences from work to see various physicians for which I no longer have enough personal leave. I am therefore losing money by not being present at work. I will be filing a lawsuit when I am able to find proper legal representation.
