CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — People who abuse or traffic in prescription drugs could have a harder time doctor and pharmacy shopping in West Virginia under two measures poised to pass the Legislature.



The House of Delegates voted Wednesday to approve slightly altered versions of Senate bills meant to attack the widespread problem.



One aims to provide pharmacists access to West Virginia's online prescription drug database. Supporters say that could help them detect a common abuse practice of patients seeking multiple fills on a single prescription.



The other would bolster reporting guidelines for physicians while helping prosecutors pursue doctor-shopping cases. Delegates amended its language mandating tamper-resistant prescription pads, to encompass computer-generated prescriptions.
