Prescription Drugs that are often used in prescription drug fraud cases include: Xanax (alprozolam), Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) , Vicodin, Vallium (diazepam), Adderall, Lortab (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), Codeine , Ritalin (methylphenidate), and many other prescription drugs.

The act of committing prescription fraud and any attempt to commit prescription fraud are both considered criminal activities and are punishable as a criminal offense. This means a person who tries to get a fraudulent prescription filled at a pharmacy is guilty, not just a person who succeeds in filling a fraudulent prescription. Both activities are punishable by law as a drug crime and persons convicted of prescription fraud could receive jail time, probation, parole, and / or monetary fines.
