A friend of mine ordered Cipro - $160 for 30 tablets. When it arrived yesterday, there were exactly 14 tablets in the package. The company said that supplies had to be rationed because there was too much demand, but that more would be sent to her "if needed."
Wonderful.
A warning on antibiotics. Twice in my life I almost met the reaper from taking antibiotics. once from penecillin and once from keflex, the drug they give you when you are allergic to penicillin.
The response by our governement to these incidents have been pretty impressive thus far. They identify and begin treatment rapidly. No cause for panic, they are doing a good job.
I did read on Fox News today where Bayer said they wouldn't jump the cost on Ciprio and are working full blast to produce more.
