Amoxicillin hasn't been prescribed by our Dr after it failed to do anything for the first ear infection. The Pharmacy isn't just going to substitute different antibiotics for you either.
Here's what my daughter was prescribed: http://www2.costco.com/Pharmacy/DrugInfo.aspx?p=1&SearchTerm=b&Drug=BACITRACIN http://www2.costco.com/Pharmacy/DrugInfo.aspx?p=1&SearchTerm...
So $230 for the course. So sure. Amoxicillin is cheap. So is Tylenol. What's your point? After the Dr's visit you're still likely out at least $100, not to mention time off work, and that's if the "cheap stuff" even works. You can't get this stuff OTC.
I stand by my statement: Without data I think it's a lot easier to believe that places with socialized medicine and generous labor laws for things like sick time are much more likely to see abuse.
- desas 13y agoIn the UK both Amoxicillin and BACITRACIN will cost £0 for a child, the over 60s and pregnant women, or £7.85 for everyone else. You do need to get a prescription though, which doctors don't dole out with a smile. Companies don't have to pay to advertise drugs though.
