Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 03, 2024

Mine are purple.

When you can appreciate a comic. Thanks!

Mine are white.

If you gave up trying to pronounce the pharmaceutical names of your pills, and just recognize them by colors — you’re a Plugger.

If you halve your dose because it costs too much, you are a plugger….

My thyroid pills are yellow.

Omeprazole.

No thankses. No steenky pills and theirs steenky side effects for me.

I have no idea what that is. Plugger status averted for another day.

Mine is finesteride (prostate med)

For my prostate, I have prescriptions for Terazosin (light blue capsule) and Furosemide (darker blue pill).

My 81mg ASA is blue with a V stamped on it

Purple and oblong. Not like the cartoon one at all.

Ha HAW! Pluggers aren’t getting any!

I just upgraded from white to purple.

I take a variety of pills, twice a day.

Levothyroxine and plenty of caffeine.

That leaves me out. I thought the blue pills were for four hour stiffies.

Who the HELL needs a four hour stiffie! I got things to do!

My Mega Men Vitamin is tan in color ;-)

what if it’s blue but it’s not Levothyroxine? or maybe it’s green? hmmmm being somewhat colorblind it’s hard to tell them apart sometimes, but shape helps.

If Viagra is too expensive at $45 each, and you don’t want to visit the many advertisers of generic alternatives, ask your doctor for a Sildenafil scrip. It is exactly Viagra, but 20mg instead of 25mg. I get mine at Costco for $10 for 90 pills. They work well.

Over the lips,

and through the gums,

look out stomach, here it comes!

not a clue (I’ll look it up)

Pluggers don’t take Viagra because nobody wants to have sex with them. Am I getting that right?

I have white, yellow and all other colors!

Around 10 years back (IIRC) there was a Pluggers strip which mentioned the exact meds I was taking at the time!

At my age, the matrix is the three dimensional stack of pill-a-day organizers.

Most of my pills are white except for one of my blood pressure pills, which is green.

This one’s for thyroids, that one’s for fun.

Have never had red pills. Are there any? and what are they for?

At home – I set out pills weekly into 5 different day of the week boxes. One each for the bedroom for am pills, one each for kitchen for meal pills and one for him for bedtime pills.

When traveling I use different boxes – the ones where each day’s pills is a box for each day with sections for the time of day – I use the am section of each day’s box for his am pills, the dinner section of each for his meals pills, the bed section for his bedtime pills and I put all of my pills in to the lunch section – because I can figure out which pill is which and take a lot fewer pills than he does. This way only one box has to come out each day to refill our pocket pill boxes and for the pills we take in the RV in the am and his at night.
