After learning that her unborn baby no longer had a heartbeat, it was hard to imagine how things could get worse for Nicole Arteaga until they did so.

The mother of Arizona speaks after saying that a pharmacist Walgreens refused to provide him with a prescription drug that would help him miscarry his dead fetus, telling him that would provide a violation of his personal beliefs. The company announced Sunday that she was investigating the incident.

"I have experienced something that women should never have to do [through]especially in these circumstances, "said Arteaga on Facebook on Friday.

The 35-year-old mother said Thursday that the pharmacist's refusal at a Walgreens facility in Peoria, Arizona came a day after her doctor informed her during a 10-week pregnancy test that his baby had no more heartbeat. told the Republic of Arizona.

The doctor had given her two options, she said: Either undergo a hospital procedure that would remove the fetus or take Misoprostol, a prescription medication that would help her body to miscarry the fetus . After a day of reflection, said Arteaga, she decided to take the medicine and took her 7-year-old son with her to the store to take the medicine. Instead, the pharmacist refused to give it to him.

"He had it in his hand and refrained from giving it to me," Arteaga told WTSP, adding, "I was completely shocked." I could not believe what was going on . "

Arteaga explained that she had explained her situation to the man behind the counter, explaining that her unborn baby no longer had heartbeats and that the prescription was not something that she really wanted to take.

"It's something that I have no control over," she posted on Facebook. "He has no idea what [it’s] wants nothing more than to carry a child to term and not be able to do it. If you left [through] a miscarriage you know pain and emotional roller [coaster] it can be."

She said there were two other people working behind the counter, one of whom was supervising the prescriptions at the drive-thru window. She asked if anyone else could help her, but the employee said no and suggested that she come back the next evening.

"It's not OK to do that to anyone," she told Arizona Central. "Help them or pass [the prescription] to someone next to you. "

A representative from Walgreens seems to be in agreement.

Although store employees have the right to refuse to fulfill the requirements for which they have a moral objection, they are required to hand over orders to someone else to fulfill, indicated the company in a statement obtained by HuffPost.

"After learning what happened, we reached out to the patient and apologized for the way the situation was managed," the company said. "We are looking into this to make sure our patients' needs are well managed."

Walgreens' policy aligns with an Arizona state law that also allows a pharmacy, hospital or health care provider to not participate in the supply of drugs. 39, abortion, emergency contraception or medication. If a pharmacist chooses not to administer the prescription, he must return the written order of the patient.

After leaving the store in tears, Arteaga said that she received an email informing her that the pharmacist had sent her prescription to another nearby Walgreens store.

She finally received the prescription Friday, after contacting her doctor for further assistance, but the experience left her embarrassed, humiliated and wondering what other medications – such as birth control and pills of the next day – this pharmacist refused to people.

"I share this story because I do not wish other women to go [through] something like that when you're vulnerable and already suffer, "she wrote.

HuffPost could not immediately reach Arteaga or the pharmacist Walgreens that she identified on Facebook for comment.
