Prescription Drugs Obtained Through Fraud Can Lead to Charges

Certain prescription drugs have become very popular in recent years for recreational use. This has drawn the attention of law enforcement leading to an increase in investigations and prosecutions for prescription fraud. These cases are taken seriously by the police and prosecutors.

Any prescription drug that is obtained through fraud can lead to drug charges. Some of the more common prescription drugs that are the basis for these charges include:

  • OxyContin, Oxycodone
  • Hydrocodone
  • Vicodin
  • Percocet
  • Xanax

Some of the activities associated with these drugs that can lead to prosecution include:

  • Forging prescriptions
  • Altering prescriptions
  • Doctor shopping

If you are facing prescription drug fraud charges you need to begin taking your defense seriously as soon as possible after your arrest. Securing the representation of an attorney who is capable of providing you with the skilled defense you deserve can help you secure the best possible resolution to your case.
