Prescription fraud is a type of drug crime that involves using fraud or misrepresentation to obtain  prescription medicine. Prescription drugs are considered a type of controlled substance because they are regulated by the government. A person may only lawfully possess or take a prescription drug if he or she has a lawful prescription from a licensed medical professional. In addition to facing charges for prescription drug possession, distribution, sale,  trafficking or manufacturing, a defendant may face prescription fraud charges for fraudulently obtaining prescription drugs.
