My psych doctor called in a script for Viagra due to SSRI side effects and the script was called into a different pharmacy than what my GP and I use. It is obviously not a controlled substance and would be embarrassed for my GP to know. My question is would they know?

Hi Cree-
In the US, all pharmacies share a data bank and can see all the prescriptions you have filled at other locations and different pharmacies. Any doctor can pull this data bank up if they wish too.
It would be best if your GP knew just in case there is contraindication with any of the meds, or medical conditions. In other words your GP could find out. Embarrassed now or later, your call.
Cree; Yes but it is no big deal many people have to use the Viagra because of the SSRI from what I understand your using one pharmacy for you and your GP and another for the Pdoc and you this is doing you a huge disservice We all work together from all your doctors and the Pharmacist to make sure all of your medications are okay to take at the same time. You really should think of getting everything from one pharmacy. And Jeannie is correct about doctors knowing if you're using more than one pharmacy. And really nobody thinks anything. Many times your Pdoc may have to call your Gp to make sure your heart and blood pressure etc that it is okay if he or she gives you some Viagra without causing other problems. You're okay my friend.
