This is a debate currently going on in another board, and it centers mainly on whether or not a pharmacy is allowed to have "fake XX" to give to people who try to steal or forcefully take these pills from the pharmacies. Also, if someone could point me to where I could find this information for myself, I would appreciate it.
Answer:
its not illegal to stock them.it is illegal to sell them as real pills.
If people want to steal medication then I applaud the fact that the pharmacy will give you sugar pills instead. People who break the law only have themselves to blame.However if you want to find placebos actually for sale just look for any "medication" labelled homeopathic.
No, it isn't illegal. It would only be unlawful if they were selling placebo's in place of legitimate pills. It makes allot of sense for them to have these on hand to give them out in place of the legal narcotics that some would steel or rob for.
Placebos are used only in clinical trials, under controlled conditions and therefore are not available to the general public. While it might not be illegal for pharmacies to stock them, why should they do so when they can't legally sell them?
Some doctors will prescribe placebos for patients that really have nothing wrong with them but insist on some sort of pill to cure them. I wouldn't be surprised they are in the pharmacy.
NO I have prescribed them on occasion.

IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SNEEZE WITH YOUR EYES OPEN? why? and what will happen?
Answer:
When you sneeze your eyelids shut by reflex. It would be nearly impossible to hold your eyelids open while sneezing unless you used superglue or fish hooks. Even so, the muscles that control the movement of your eyes have them firmly anchored in the sockets. So yes, it is unlikely you will be able to keep your eyes shut on account of the reflex, and no they won't pop out.
No, I have done it. oops let me put my eye back in
yes it is possible, that's an urban legend
your eyeballs will fall out thats what I heard anyways and I've tried doing it and I can't keep my eyes open. hahahaha
Whenever you sneeze, your eyes automatically shut. If you tried to hold them open, they would still probably succeed in shutting, unless you managed to hold them open really well. If you sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes will pop out of your skull. It'll be a painful experience, so please don't try it.
wow
never though of that
maybe your eyes will remain wide open from now on
Put your nose to some Black Pepper and try it, then tell us what happened.
no
Well no its not impossible, you can always hold them open!
hahaha NOTHING HAPPENS
mmmmmmmmmmmm. everything's possible so yes.. just.. sneeze with your eys open!! actually this is a good question, i dont even know the answer.. i should try the next time i sneeze.
Defense mechanism against blowing your eyeballs out like yo-yos.
you could but you have Strong i think well exactly its hard
yes; your eyes will just water, get itchy maybe, and become red...kind of unpleasant. Your body naturally reacts the the harshness of a sneeze with the blinking of an eye..just like how if someone claps their hands right in front of your eye you blink. It's the suddenness of it.
i really dont know the answer to your question, but i would like to share with you now that you mention sneezing that a guy i went to school with named Daniel once mentioned that if you sneeze, cough, yawn, and fart at the same time you die at the spot.
yes it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. and if you do... well idont want to know cause it will probably be really bad.
You can but your eyes are supposed to pop out, i heard that your eyes shut to keep the eyeballs inside of the sockets, and then there is the story the devil is trying to steal your soul that is why you cover your mouth
How about you try it and let everyone else know how it went
No. It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open because the involuntary impulses that are made when you are about to sneeze prevents you from opening your eyes. Urban legends say that if you do sneeze with your eyes open, your eyeballs will fall out...
I dunno, but did you know when you do your heart stops for like a second or something?
noo just another myth..
You probably do not want to try. Your DNA sequence has this defense mechanism for a reason. You sneeze when you have something unwelcome in your esophagus, maybe mucus. If you sneeze upwind and you keep your eyes open, then all that stuff will blow back to yoru eyes. I'm completely serious.
Is it legal to buy chlorophorm and if so where?
Answer:
Medical supply but not all of them carry it you must search for Chloroform to find it...
It must be because almost any lab using organic solvents would have it. However, like most halogenated hydrocarbons it is actually dangerous to handle. Also it is spelled with an "f" not a "ph" that should make it easier to look up for more detail.
is it legal to give a 5 chapter micro-biology test,?
and if so are they designed to make me into a history major?
Answer:
Of course 'it's legal'. Get off the Internet and start STUDYING!
Yes it's legal. It's called a final!
As a Biology major in college, I have determined that it is legal for this exam. It is unjust, but I have had professors that don't care about the students or their progress. All they are worried about is their money. There were 145 students that entered the program the same semester that I did and there are only 9 left. They are trying to weed out students that are not professional grade or strong willed enough to succeed in the medical fields. Study hard and don't give up!
Actually, it is quite sinful. Professors are devils in disguise. Only 5 chapters?? I once had a test with 11 chapters on it . . . in astronomy. Get used to it! This kind of prepares you for your comprehensive exams at the end that test you on four years of college!! YIKES@@@@@ Truck driving sounding pretty good by now, huh!?!
No state legislature or municiple authority decide how much leisure time you deserve while you are waiting for a diploma. You seem to think that a diploma is certificate that proves you hung out at the school for a while. An employer wants to see that you have demonstrated the ability to engage in and sustain hard work. Learning five chapters from a science textbook is a challenge. Can you do it? Can you sustain the effort? Would you include this exchange on Yahoo.com in your resume someday? If not, then use the experience to learn something about yourself. Successful people are people who knuckle down, postpone gratification and get it done even if it is quite unpleasent. Please note: It is not the microbiology that is unpleasent. It is missing the leisure time that you resent.

Is it harmful to wear a magnetic earring in your lip?
I have a friend who wears a magnetic earring in her bottom lip so it looks like it's pierced. (She's too afraid to get it pierced) I have mine pierced and I told her it didn't hurt but she won't believe me. She says the magnet works for her. I told her I didn't think it was a good idea because it might rub her teeth but I couldn't think of any other reasons why she shouldn't do it.I've heard about magnetic bracelets people wear that supposedly help them feel better but heart patients are not supposed to wear them. Why is this?
Answer:
Only when kissing a guy with braces.Seriously, I don't think it is harmful. If it was someone would have reported the manufacturer to the better business bureau or something.As for heart patients, it's only dangerous if you have a pacemaker. So go wild and wear as many magnets as you want. They are about as dangerous as cell phones. Wait, don鈥檛 those cause cancer鈥?
Yeah. That kind of jewelry "attracts" other losers...
It's only harmful when you face north.
The magnetism does nothing, either good or bad. Any skin puncture can be a portal for invasion of hostile bacteria, some of which can kill you, so it is nothing to take lightly. Not to mention that in my opinion it looks like s--t.
According to modern medicine no doubt it is harmful. By modern medicine I mean allpathy,as it is called by some people.Modern medicine asks for evidences and then only approves some therapy.Anyway,if you believe in something which I call to be "quack" practise, then I have to say nothing or advise nothing about your querry.

Is it ileagal??
Is it legal to give someone Advil or Tylonal??
Answer:
it depends on the circumstances. if they ask for it, then yes. if you work at a school or company, you had better have a degree in medicine before offering it to anyone, for safety and insurance reasons.
Advil and Tylenol are both over the counter meds so it would not be illegal for you to give them to anyone who asks. Prescription medecines are a different story.
No. These are over-the-counter, not prescription, drugs. It could be illegal to sell them to persons, or to represent yourself as some kind of "healer."
The person to be getting the medication has to know exactly what he's getting.
Over the counter drugs are okay to give out, unless you give to a minor (without parental premission).
no ,you can give to someone who asks,!
yes you can not Put a bottle of them crushed up into the cookie batter!
YES ,YOU CAN NOT GIVE AN INFANT or someone who can sufer harm,you could be liable!
use your head!
It's legal if the person is not hospitalized and has asked for it and in regular over the the counter doses. Of course you must determine if the person is stable and cognitive. I would always make sure that they have taken the medication before and has had no allergic reactions to it. If you are a student I would let the nurse take care of giving them the medication. Even legal drugs have stipulation in certain circumstances.
no it is not, unless you work in a school enviorment and a student asks, then yes. Teachers or staff are not allowed to supply or give children still enrolled in the school any drugs of any type, unless prescribed by doctor or school nurse.

Is it illegal for a doctor to prescribe medicene to himself?
I'm sure this crossed into the unethical territory as well, but are there any laws stating this to be a crime?
Answer:
Self medicating is unethical, treating family is frowned upon, but both can be done legally in certain conditions. Careful record keeping is the key to answering charges in this type of case. If one is in a remote setting, and has no access to other medical professionals, then it is reasonable to treat self/ family. Long distance sailors with prescribed medications taken aboard for future problems (prescribed by another practitioner) can then be 'prescribed' by the medical person (or anybody for that matter!) in the event of subsequent problems: Infections, severe pain, injury, rash etc. etc.
Don't you watch House? Just kidding. Yes, it is illegal to self prescribe medications. Someone else must do it.
Yes
As far as I know it is, especailly DEA resticted medications like Percodan.Most Doctors, however, get freebees from drug companies and don't have to write a script.
It is illegal to prescribe for themselves but they can write for family members. Such as antibiotics for their children, etc.
No
