    Value

    Walgreens

    Pick one.

    Guarantee the price per milligram is at least 5x higher for the bottle on the left.

    I priced out several OTC drugs from a handful of local vendors, and Walgreens was obscenely expensive compared to the others.

    (Costco was the winner - their pharmacy alone makes a membership worth it)

    So, uh… definitely hamburger style.

    I still find it crazy you can get them in such a large bottle.

    In UK we get like a small box of 16 or 24. Even when prescribed it just ends up being multiples of boxes.

      When I had them prescribed here in NL i just got 4 smaller boxes still inside the larger box they use to ship them.

      A whole pharmacy could run of the barrels they showed here.

        I think it’s an American single weeks worth perhaps 😂

    I prefer the gourmet variety, prescription strength, the dosage of four in one, uncoated, in an orange plastic bottle.

      Just get the 1000mg soluble powder bags. Worked wonders for a inflamed tendon I had, downside being I didn’t feel it if I stubbed my toe.

    We gotta use blue goo pills because my fiancee is allergic to corn and its byproducts, and the gelcaps are cornstarch-free. Personally idgaf what shape the pills are.

    Hot dog is for acetaminophen. Then you can put them in the same bottle when traveling

    Either one seems to work with rectal administration, though the hotdog variety is a little easier to push in.
