Pharmacist Ira Freeman testified in court on Thursday (October 22) that he refused to fill a prescription request in September 2006 for Anna Nicole Smith saying it would have resulted in “pharmaceutical suicide.”

On September 15 2006, Freeman received prescription requests from psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, just four days after Smith’s son passed away. The prescriptions he received included painkillers, muscle relaxants and one that was eight times the recommended dosage of Dalmane, a hypnotic sedative.

“If she got ahold of these medications, it could have fatal consequences,” he told a judge in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles hearing is to determine whether or not Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist, Eroshevich, her former boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and an another unnamed doctor should stand trial on federal charges of conspiring to supply an addict with dangerous drugs through fraudulent means.

Anna Nicole Smith eventually died, five months later, of a prescription drug overdose.
