In my experience, the ones they know people
have to have are the ones they charge the most for, citing "research costs." It's odd how that correlation always works in the favor of the drug company. I've never heard one claim, "Hey - you'll die without this medicine and guess what? It costs so little to make, it's only 5 cents a pill." It's sad when erectile dysfunction meds cost 5% of heart and liver medications that are life-essential. :erg:
Assuming a correlation between urgent medical conditions and scarce medical conditions, "research costs" actually makes sense.
Which isn't to say they won't charge more for non-optional medications if they can ...

I just think it's interesting how the generic was very popular in it's niche, then it's recalled for vague reasons, causing a sudden rush on the generic - made by Pfizer who's well known to blow the FDA on a daily if not hourly basis. :erg:

Damn Fett. Glad to hear you're ok and that the meds are flowing again. Though I must say I am disappointed that this was not news of a zombie outbreak.

I'm glad to see you were able to sort out the meds - what a nightmare. Congratulations to your wife on her degree!

That would freak the ever-loving fuck out of me. I may be over-reacting, but if I were in your situation I would try to find out how the medicine is produced, and go about setting up a lab to make the stuff myself. Since you've got a nurse in the house, she could help with the dosages.

Holy feces Fettman. Somehow I missed this thread. This is certainly something to write your congressman about and then be dismissed with a form letter because you are not a big drug company spending millions on lobbying. I'm not so sure about what peanuckle said but maybe with your wife being a nurse now she can be your connection?
I understand exactly what you mean about Wally world. They are the most obstinate and lackadaisical bunch of soul wevils but if you have to get your wife Sudafed for her allergies they perk up enough to eye you evilly.
Man I hate to hear that about your problems. If this shit ever happens again I will gladly contact my pharmacist cousin and locate some and either buy it and ship it or have her locate it in your area. I'm not exactly sure how this works or what laws she will break but I'll certainly do what I can. PM me if you need my phone #.
Live and let die in the good old USA. Sad ass system somtimes.

Yikes, glad to hear it worked out in the end. Hope they get the cheap stuff back on the shelves soon.
Also, congrats to Mrs fett.
