Not an antibiotic but an antiseptic costs $6 per box of blisters. It helps me with the yearly colds by killing bacteria. The active substance is used for both horses and humans. Now the cheap human packaging is not available anymore. Only a three times more expensive water solution that I can’t take onboard of a plain. :-(
I’m sure bought in bulk for horses it’s exactly the same powder but even cheaper than $6.

- frogperson 7y agoIt starts to make sense when you assume a great number of people are out to make the most money, at all times, in any way possible.
- bananamerica 7y agoYes, it does. You know, I live in a poor country called Brazil. About 20 years ago a right-wing Health Minister under a neoliberal president created a law that breaks the patents of any medication after 10 years on the market. After that, any laboratory can fabricate it, and the prices drop dramatically. We call these "generics", and each manufacture goes through all the same tests and regulations that the original went through. It works really well. And because of the competition, even the originals become cheaper.
- jazoom 7y agoColds are caused by viruses that live in our cells, not bacteria. An antiseptic would probably not be much use unless it killed your cells as well, which would probably be worse than the virus.
