While I am sorry that this type of letter will affect those that truly need such medication for chronic issues that are already totally aware of potential dependency side effects, a form aknowledgement letter seems appropriate to me. I just received a standard handout today with my flu shot and see nothing wrong with that.

In my opinion, the disinformation given to women routinely when they try to access reproductive healthcare is far more menacing.

I trust your physician is well aware of your and his/her other patients particular circumstances and medical history to continue to proscribe to chronic patients that need the prescriptions.
