yeah pocket burn and staggering empty stomach

“Patients also lose tend to lose a lot of muscle mass in their forearms. And I can testify to that personally.”

Pharmacist was explaining about my pills and I didn’t listen ’cause I was going to take two on an empty stomach with a couple of shots of bourbon anyway……

A very real side effect.

“I’m not totally satisfied with the results from these pills. I took them and auditioned for five male stripper jobs, but still nobody wants to hire me!”

I’m going to remember that one.

Med prices are very high and hard to meet. The paperwork and long waits for insurance company ok’s are worse.

You joke, but the price of my prescriptions has nearly doubled in the last year, and if prices keep rising until I hit the copay ceilings on all my meds I’ll be paying something like 125% more than I was paying this time last year. Ugh.

“Side effects may include uncontrolled itching, hives, excessive nose and ear hair growth and possibly death. Do not take it if you are allergic to this medication or any of it’s ingredients.”

Being Canadian, I don’t have that problem. Our system isn’t perfect, as many are quick to point out, but there is a comfort zone that takes your mind off that particular concern.

same thing I ask my pharmacist -

“Possible stroke, thoughts of suicide, death” The side effects are MUCH worse than the ailment. Save yourself money by NOT purchasing the cure.

I have pharma care, 90 day prescription $20, Cialis not covered, $17.50 each

This is the first, out of all the comics I’ve read today, that made me laugh out loud!

People should not have to go bankrupt because they need medical care.

Must be a third world sh!t hole country without single payer/national health.

“Nope, just the one.”

Aside from the blackouts and diarrhea, you mean?

There is also the vomiting

That’s bad enough……

That’s not a side effect, its the primary effect!

Greed rules in the pharmaceutical industry upper management tier.
