Went grocery shopping and found Baggies Sandwich Bags. Box count has gone from 150 to 80 for the same price. They had some old and new stock on the shelves at the same time. Location in SW WI.
Also check your pill counts in your prescriptions. They seem to be short fairly often, and/or the prescriptions are unavailable and take extra days to full. (Major chain pharmacy) Refill as soon as you are able, as you may have to wait longer to get them filled, or not have enough to make it to the next refill.
Just a quick note on RX refills.
As the number of off patent drug ( generic) manufactures decreases, you MUST plan ahead just incase the drugs you need are backordered ( not available ).
Learn to stockpile your medications, just like your ammo and food.
Federal Law allows Controlled Substances, ie pain, sleeper, sedatives, to be refilled after 80% is used up.
Many insurance companies use the same time frame for Legend drugs ( not controlled, like BP, cholesterol, diabetes )
80% of 30 days is 24 days. So, you should be able to stock pile about 5 days of each oral/ topical/ maybe injectable medication each month if you are persistant and cognizant.
Try to avoid filling meds on Mondays since many holidays fall on this day. Pay cash for a small fill of meds if necessary to shift your refill date away from Mondays, Fridays, saturdays and Sunday.
The pharmacy I use is closed on Saturday and Sunday,,,, sheesh. But they are an independent, locally owned and do a great job.
If you have to use a "Pain Clinic" to supply your narcotic Rx's, be very careful about monthly new rx's that "must last 30 days".. The clinic PA / NP/ MD will be a little more flexible with early refills after you develop a more trusting relationship, just be cool and patient.
I hope this review helps a little.
