Secure methods of distributing and prescribing prescription medications
and related systems significantly increase prescription medication
distribution security. Applications of the present invention are
particularly useful in prescribing and distributing lifestyle drugs where
an actual physical examination is not necessarily required, but are
similarly useful for all prescription medications. A system configured
according to a particular embodiment of the present invention involves a
prescription request kiosk, a prescription request review terminal, a
medical information database, and a pharmacy all associated with a
prescription distribution system processor. Particular embodiments of
prescriptions of the present invention include a photograph of a
prescription requestor on the prescription for added security along with
additional follow-up questions to be asked by the pharmacist to the
customer. Requestors initiate prescription requests by answering a
plurality of questions related specifically to the prescription
medications requested.
