"Prescription Pad Theft"

Prescription pad theft refers to the unlawful act of stealing a pad of prescription forms used by healthcare professionals to write medication prescriptions. This theft can lead to unauthorized individuals forging prescriptions, allowing them to obtain controlled substances or medications illegally. Such actions pose serious risks, including drug misuse and potential harm to patients. To combat this issue, healthcare providers implement security measures for their prescription pads, and law enforcement monitors for fraudulent prescriptions. Awareness and vigilance among medical staff can help prevent prescription pad theft and its consequences.
