Need opinions and advice

What is the name of your state?TN My ex, up until March of this year had been administering prescription medication without a physician's approval. For both children it was the allergy medicine, Zyrtec. For our daughter, Augmentin, Prolex and Verlan. For our son, Zithromax and Prolex. He is in the medical field and with the former employer he worked for was able to get the medicine out of the sample room and gave it to them. What do I do?

Do the kids actually have allergies? If so he is, at least, treating them.

Are all the medications only available with a prescription- or were any/all of them over the counter?

Were the children on any medications previously which the Dr. did prescribe- and were they the same medications?

Has the children's Dr. been advised, and if so, did he/she have an opinion about the situation?

(1) No the children do not have allergies. Our daughter was seen by an allergist in 2000 but was never taken back. Our son has never been seen.

(2) All medication is by prescription only.

(3) No, the children were not previously on any medication prescribed by a doctor. August of 2004 our son was diagnosed with ADHD and has medicine for that.

(4). I called and talked to the employer that he was getting the medication from and talked to a nurse there and I asked if they had been seen by one of the pediatric allergists there and they said that our daughter was last seen in October 2000 and our son was never seen.

I called the employer where he was getting the medication from and spoke with a nurse who told me that our daughter had last been seen in October of 2000 and our son had never been seen. I then asked her how they could be on the medicine if they had never been seen and explained to her they were samples. She asked me how they were getting them and I told them, probably from their dad. She then recognized the name of the father and became very hesitate after that to tell me anything and asked if she had gotten him into trouble. The reason I started wondering about it is because my ex gave me the Zithromax (antibiotic used to help fight strep throat) and our son told me he was never seen by a doctor. I called their pediatrician and found out that the last time he was seen was August 2004 (his ADHD work up). I have received copies of medical records from both the Allergist office and their pediatrician and none state that they were even prescribed any of the medicine listed.

One other thing is that my ex signed our children up for clinical research in April with his former employer and then abruptly pulled them out.

Can anyone give me advice on how to handle this?

Follow through with filing contempt.

Are you able to prove this has been happening?

 

[lisagr33]

Yes. I have all of their medical records which include any medication that has been prescribed. The medical records from the allergist said that she was supposed to come in for a one year check-up but never did. I also have the medicine samples in my home. Would this not get my ex in trouble since he was administering medicine without our children being seen by a physician? He just graduated nursing school and is a registered nurse. You would think he would know the consequences of doing that.
