As advertised on TV.

Better living through chemistry

The combined side effects will kill you.

There should be an advent calendar full of different meds as you count down the days until Christmas.

As seen on TV.

Psst. I know a guy that knows a guy. $5.

Funny! That’s about the only emailed pharmacy add I don’t get!

And of course, Bleeb is back there sampling the sampler samples!

Best of all there’s a mystery pill category.

Darn, You let the cat out of the bag. I bet I’ll see this at CVS or Walmart next week.

If you have health/medical insurance.

Now you’ve given big Pharma the idea….. sigh….. of course they’ll offer it at 20 times that price :D

Watch out lady! That’s a ‘come-on’ price to get you addicted.

My late husband’s best Buddy died Thursday because of a new medication, was dead 17 min, they said he wouldn’t last the night, on life support…he is alive now with kidney and liver damage and some cognitive ability affected but doing better than expected, going to a rehab place by Monday.

Pharmacist: white-collar drug dealer who doesn’t warn anyone about the front risks , the rear dangers and then suspects the illiterate buyer will never actually read about nor take the side-effects seriously

More drugs is usually the answer!

It’s getting that way.

Not too far away……

Ide ask you’re doctor before taking meds not prescribed…☹️

Sickening what the pharmaceutical companies are doing to Americans. ☹️

There’s. Meds for everything known to man….the more we buy the richer they get…it’s never enough….mean while America is over medicated….

Move aside Whitman’s Sampler, how about a Pfizer’s Sampler?!

“If you pay out-of-pocket, everything will be co-paycetic.”

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. Bleeb, do NOT eat from that side of the mushroom! You are small enough! A really big Bleeb would be entertaining though! :)

That’s their hypochondriac special.

I have found that my passion for dinosaurs as a child has enabled me to pronounce the names of prescription drugs without faltering.

Also known as the “Addict-vent Calendar.” (I knew there was a reason people went to Mexico to get prescriptions.)

There’s a pill for whatever ails you here in the US. I just got a Shiatsu massager and it works on all my muscle aches, and comes with heat too. There’s a pill out there that’s for your back and I asked myself "How does it know where to go? Could it go farther down to your butt and you’d have numb Gluteus Maximus? Yup, advertising.

Typical “drug” dealing only the first sample is NOT free

Oh no I took Viagra thought it was my Allegra. ;>)

Starting Jan 20

Wait ’til Canadian tariffs hit MEDs, then the 10 spot for leftover drugs will be a deal!
