What a rip-off - friggin drug companies
I just bought some Drixoral (nasal spray) For years companies have mislead you with packaging. But this was disgustingly blatant. The box, actaully has a divider inside, about 2/3 of the way across. That way they havethe larger package appearence, and the bottle doesn't shake around when you shake it. - It should be illegal.

1. Just be thankful you don't live here
At least your government regulates big pharma so they can't charge $10 per pill.:grr:

3. Listen to this one.....
....my dog is on generic Cipro for a chronic skin condition. The vet charges me $8.34 for 20 of them. I called my pharmacy to see if I could get them even cheaper. Wrong. 20 generic Cipro pills are $128.00 at the pharmacy. The name brand Cipro is $367.00.
