There is literally only a **single** state in the USA where you still control autonomy over your own medical records (prescription drug list) and that is MO!
That means if you are in any other state and ever had a prescription doctors can find out what it was and who prescribed it. That means doctors can find your past doctors without your approval.
The scary part? You also have no control over your medical records. So your PCP can now legally look this up and contact all your past doctors for medical records and you cant do anything about it, you cant legally stop them, you cant purge your records, you cant purge your prescription list.
This is very scary for anyone who has been abused at the hand of a past doctor and moves.. If they have put any negative information about you that might make future doctors hostile towards you or not want you as a patient... there is nothing you can do... that is so scary...
Btw, I am in Missouri, but I take no prescription drugs. Though I did years ago for allergies.
So, the data is probably no longer in existence, and those meds are probably not even manufactured any longer.
If my allergies get bad, I take OTC junk and stay inside.
@SpaceLifeForm As far as I know these databases keep data for a very long time, if not forever. I do know doctors medical notes expire eventually but I dont think these do.

Maybe. It has been years, nee decades, and there would not be anything interesting there unless a doc created some bullshit out of whole cloth. Which seems to be what you are alluding to.
My allergies were horrible years ago, but they are fading away in old age. Plus, I learned to stay indoors in the morning when pollen counts are highest. I also learned that the meds stop working over time, and then you had to try a different one.
Easier to avoid the problem.
