I received a coupon to fill a new prescription at a specific pharmacy AND get a $25 gift card.

I want the gift card.  Caveat: I am not on any prescription medications; only OTC allergy pills.

What prescription can I get when I am healthy?  It has to be for me.

ETA: This post went sideways with accusations of me participating in insurance fraud, looking for fake prescriptions, spending $600 for a $25 gift card, and being a financial disaster (from sidsmom, of all people). None of the above is true. I'm editing the first and last thread to show this.

I started the thread to get my wheels turning on what prescription items a healthy person can get. Trust me, I am very blessed that, at 48, I am healthy. I thank God for that every day.

That being said, mememe, Kat213, Laura14, RedTop gave me great suggestions for Vitamin D and allergy medicine.

I see my doctor once a year in April. My allergy symptoms that time of year are one thing. This time of year, they are different. I don't think about these symptoms in April. It's time for a change.

Also, in April, my vitamin D levels are low because I exercise inside during the winter. Again, something I do not think about throughout the year.

As for my copays, driving to the pharmacy, etc., I can call these prescription requests in because the conditions are not new. The pharmacy is close to wear I live. It would cost me $0 to get the prescription, and $0 to get it filled under the pharmacy's promotion. I would get a $25 gift card that's all profit. I will spend it on whatever I wish.

Hopefully, this will me the ignorant, judge-y people happy. If that were possible. And if you regret participating in this thread so much...don't!

If any doctor writes a prescription for someone that does not need it?  Not a doctor I would patronize, and maybe against medical standards.

That didn't answer my question.

If I wanted to get a fake prescription, I would not need to ask here.

If you are healthy then why did you get that coupon to begin with? Maybe you can use it for a friend/family member and get the gc that way...?? Otherwise why take something you don't need.

Any Rx for allergy eyedrops or vitamins such as Rx vit D3?

[Kat 213]

You could check with a clinic or doctor - maybe some sort of B12 or other "vitamin" type booster. Just be careful.  I know lots of people in my area who get B12 injections when they are feeling tired and run down but are otherwise healthy. Or you could ask for a prescription allergy medicine since you are taking OTC allergy pills already.

I don't know how your health insurance works but this might end up costing you money to get that $25 gc...like any co-pays, co-ins...etc. It would cost me a co-pay of $35 just to see my doc to have a prescription written. Then there's the question of whether or not my insurance would pay for any part of the drug cost. Just sayin'.

Obviously, I got the offer because I don't use the pharmacy.

If you read my original post, you would see that I can only fill my own prescription.

@HonnyBrown, you've got to be kidding.  Good luck finding a honest, reputable doctor who will give you an Rx that you don't need.  I can't believe this post is real.

Have your Vitamin D level checked.  If it's low enough like mine was, my doctor gave me a prescription for a 5000 I think it was daily dose which was about $5-7 a month.
