CVS Drugs Prescribed deadly substance for treatment of salmonella poisoning Orlando Nationwide
I went to the CVS to get a container to put a stool sample in as my doctor needed it to analyze my food poisoning. I was suffering from severe diarhhea and was very dehydrated and my doctor also told me to buy gator ade type drinks to stop my dangerous dehydration. I asked the two pharmacists for a container and they decided what I needed was a couple bottles of liquid laxative. I did not buy it and called my doctors nurse instead. She suggested that I go to the emergency room as I needed to have an IV to keep me from dying from dehydration. The CVS Pharmacy Risk Management representative, Lynnea D. Calandra, concluded that there was no risk on the part of CVS or the pharmacists.

I can't believe this would happen. I am working for Walgreens as a pharmacy tech, also in Orlando, FL (check us out, Chickasaw & Lk Underhill!). Even I would know that someone with diarrhea does not need a laxative! They must be out of their minds. I am glad you didn't take their advice!
