Some steroid prescriptions require certain symbols to be written on the prescriptions--not just the name and dosage. I know this because my doctor forgot to write it on a prescription once. The pharmacist was an idiot and gave me a VERY hard time. I told her to call my doctor. She FINALLY called my doctor and she wrote the symbol on the prescription in front of me after having made a big deal about how secret the symbol was and how she couldn't write it on the prescription herself. I later asked my doc about the symbol, and he explained the situation.
I now get my prescriptions through a mail delivery pharmacy that calls my doctor directly for refills, so there're no problems like that anymore.
Please do not ask me what the symbol is because I think it's a bad idea to try to steal a prescription pad, and I don't want to help you put yourself in a difficult situation. I've had several opportunities to swipe pads, but wouldn't because of the liklihood of getting arrested.
I hope your better judgement wins.
