I ran into a friend of mine in Costco, yesterday, and she asked me if I thought that there is any chance that we could defeat Obama and she had tears in her eyes.
Then, at the check out, I mentioned to the checker that the Pepcid AC that I was purchasing had been pulled from the shelves for about a year and now it’s back. He shook his head and said that they must have reformulated it. I said, no, the reason it was pulled was because Obama had made a deal with the pharmaceutical companies to force people onto the more expensive prescription medications. He shook his head, yes that was probably right. He said, I’m an economics major and I’m sure not voting for Obama. The lady in back of me, was shaking her head in agreement. Everyone was listening and shaking their heads in agreement.
I went home feeling better.
Nodding in agreement. You shake your head in disagreement. :-)
I don’t disagree about how folks feel about O...but I’m in the biz and can attest that there have been many, many recalls and reformulations of OTC medications that have NOTHING to do w/ O. Has to do w/ carelessness by mfg. It’s been a bloody nightmare in the OTC medications world due to packaging issues, meth heads (forcing formulation changes) and other safety concerns which have caused a lot of shortages/recalls/empty shelves.
Much like w/ the election (which I wish would happen already)...I will be glad when the problems are over for the drug companies and we can fill OTC medication orders.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Another Johnson & Johnson manufacturing plant — this one making heartburn and gas relief drugs Pepcid, Imodium and Mylanta — was cited for a pattern of quality lapses similar to those seen at the company’s shuttered Tylenol plant.
