You could be right about that 2 day resupply. I got the 240 pills I needed from the Vet and 2 days later when I went to pick up the 12 pills the pharmacy said they had I was surprised that they gave me a full bottle (260 pills). I paid, said thanks and left. I now have an extra 2 month supply of meds for my dog. A nice emergency supply for the bug out bag!
Something that I learned this year is that many hospitals have their own pharmacies. Well, I knew that they had pharmacies, but the hospital where my husband has been going for radiation therapy has a pharmacy for perscriptions, as well as for OTC drugs. And they are WAY cheaper. I got a year’s supply of baby aspirin (3.25) for $3.
Anybody can park in the parking garage, get the receptionist to validate their parking ticket for free parking, and then go up to the pharmacy to pick up OTC drugs. True, it’s a bit of a jaunt to get to the hospital, but if you have an appointment anyway, you might as well check your supplies before you go and make a stop by the pharmacy. They have really good food too (cheaper than regular restaurants), and the pharmacy is next door. So I can see going for lunch and picking up your OTC drugs in the same trip.
