    Did your neighbors examine the meds? How do they know the diagnosis?

    Why were the meds delivered? Around here, I would have to request that and be home when the delivery guy appeared.

    If the medication was given to the neighbor and the delivery person left, I would ask the drug store to replace them with fresh. I would ask the drug store to talk to the driver about confirming the addresses.
