Free Anti Biotic Sources Available

Drug and Grocery Chains Apparently Offering These As "Public Relations"

Since prescriptions drugs are a high margin business, giving certain classes of drugs to the needy or all in some cases is good public relations for the stores, being in a position in making a big difference to their customers in need of these drugs and at little cost.

The Meijer chain store in the east (several hundred stores) is offering free antibiotics for children. Store officials estimated their list of free antibiotics covers 70% of their antibiotic requests for children.

Public grocery chain in the southeast, (also several hundred stores) officials estimated that half of all of their generic antibiotic prescriptions that they fill for children are included in this list of "supplied free" seven antibiotics.

This chain however makes the free anti-biotic program available to customers of all ages regardless of income level or insurance coverage status.

Remember, anti-biotics are only valuable when you have a bacteria based disease. and you must have a prescription.

Include all the penicillins which is penicillin itself, amoxicillin, ampicillin. It includes erythromycins includes doxycycline. The generic for Septra and Bactrim which is a common.

Check with these stores and look for others.

There are some firms offering "cancer drugs at cost as a public relations matter". This is significant when you find a local druggist making this type of offer, since cancer drugs have gone out of sight. For example, the average U.S. colon cancer patient drugs now cost $54,000 annually.

These local situations change rapidly and we do not try to update fast enough so suggest you do your own up to the minute research locally (and nationally) on who is offering what.

We want you to be aware of the fact that there is no drug price set in cement. it is a high margin business and you can find the right price (including free) if you work at it.
