No. An emergency rule requires pharmacists to fill prescriptions in an appropriate and timely manner. Governor Blagojevich has introduced a new toll-free number where women can report to state regulators if a pharmacy fails to dispense a prescription in an appropriate and timely manner. Women may call (800) 280-4149 to file a complaint.
