Many medicines cheaper in good old USA
bigdelta replied to Trvlr's topic in Doctors, Dentists, Clinics and Hospitals
Walmart is 11 miles from home and Costco is 21,so I time my 90 day drug purchase with my monthly Costco shopping spree.Plus its 2 miles from the Guzzi dealer,so its win-win.And of course you can refill prescription over the automated order ine,so no wait whe you arrive.And you don't need to be a Costco member I was told but you will pay just a bit more though. Well the price mentioned above at Costco is somewhat cheaper than the Thailand price (amlodipine), but if you can be clobbered by a price 6x higher by going to the shop next door, Walmart, which is being cited as the cheap place to g -

I lived in Mexico for 3 years,as recently as 2 years ago this month.Prices have increased there and now a prescription is required for very many drugs that never required one previously.You can still find off the beaten path ones that will sell to you w/o a prescription but you will pay even more. -

When in lived in Jomtien in '08-'09,I had to buy my 10mg amlodipine for hypertension and the price was several times higher than what I currently pay here at Costco.I was shocked. -

Costco has the best prices for many prescription drugs.Costco charges under $6 for a 90 day supply of 10mg amlodipine.I asked the Walmart pharmacist what their price was-nearly 6x! I asked if they would price match like some pharmacies-no way was the reply.As the OP stated,many states,including Florida,offer a large amount of generics for $4 for a 30 day supply. -
Gary,at Costco,I pay $5.75 for a 90 day supply of 10 mg amlodipine.A price that can't be matched anywhere.
-
Yes.Only difference is ours is dispensed in a container whereas in Thailand,they are sold in blister packs.

Start with 10mg of Amoldipine which is generic for Norvasc.I have been taking it for nearly a decade.It works.And BTW,I am in great physical shape.Gary is right-its the silent killer. A little back story.About 18 months before I retired in 2005,I was scheduled for rotator cuff surgery.I was in great shape.In the hospital at 7am.BP taken-210/108! Are you kidding me! Wait 5 mins-its higher! Usually stress raises BP but this is literally off the charts.They thought I was having a heart attack right there and began asking me the questions they ask heart attack victims.I felt fine.So no surgery

Funny When Barack Obama met with Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of England , he asked her… "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?" "Well," said the Queen, "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know if the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen took a sip of champagne. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch" The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would

No,it was mine.Guess MM isn't as fond of me as I thought. Hey MM,are there any American moderators beside yourself?

Too funny While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his role as our president. The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a "Post Turtle''. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he di

Too funny-shared it with my mexican friends: José and Carlos are beggars. They beg in different areas of town. Carlos begs for the same amount of time as José, but collects only about $8.00 or $9.00 a day. José brings home a suitcase full of ten-dollar bills every day. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has a lot of money to spend. "Hey, amigo," Carlos says to José, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?

bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Sports Talk
College life is normal for many-whether its a prominent university or not.And a sore shoulder is indeed a "high price" when it keeps you out of 2 majors and the possibility of becoming the youngest ever winner,IMNSHO of course. -

bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Sports Talk
Uh,that is exactly what Oui and her parents wanted for her-a college life for several years and a degree from a prominent university.So according to most,her time spent in college cost her a career-so far. So you consider idiot horseplay with a high price to play a (relatively normal) childhood. -

bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Sports Talk
LOL,to use your quote "They said exactly the same about Michelle Wie".Hilarious! Ko is a much more polished player at 15-16 than Oui was.Much better all around game.Plus she won on the top tour at 15,something neither Oui or Plumpy has accomplished.Plumpy won on a 2nd level LET tour in Morocco. Oui just blasted it long due to her height and could actually putt like a human back then.Not so today. -

bigdelta replied to bigdelta's topic in Sports Talk
Yes,great idea.She passed up possibly winning $300k and being the youngest winner of a major by a year.I hope Ko continues what she is doing,playing a minimum of tournaments.She too wants to attend Stanford.Oui has a degree to fall back on even though her $10 million Nike contract should keep her comfortable without golf.I understand those in golf are trying to dissuade Ko from a college education.Oui's time in school had little effect on her level of play IMO.There were many bright stars that flamed out after their amateur career and hanging on by a thread in the 2nd tier in the US or on the -
