I'm a tech at CVS Pharmacy and I was filling the scriptpro machine with tablets, but from a different manufacturer. There were 4 tablets already in the machine from a previous manufacturer and we were busy so without thinking I opened a bottle and poured it in, thinking since it was the same drug and strength it wouldnt matter. I didn't put the tablets in the machine - instead I left them out because I'm fairly new and didn't know how to scan the label in,etc. Later the pharmacist told me that the tablets were comingled and we had to throw them away. She said that she was also going to call the district manager but chose not to. Instead, we just threw the pills in the strongpak bin. Will I get in trouble? There were about 800 tablets (ouch) but it s a pretty cheap drug so there's that...It was an honest mistake but I don't know how my PIC is gonna react
