Just FYI, (if you have them in your area) Publix has a free RX program for about 8 different antibiotics. No strings attached. Check out their website for more details, and a list of which ones are free. I'd print it & keep a copy in your wallet next time you have to go to the doctor. If you need an antibiotic, hopefully your doc can prescribe one of those.

This has been posted and discussed a few times. It's always good to have a reminder.


One thing to add: When your vet prescribes an antibiotic for your pet, see if they'll use one on the Publix list. My vet isn't part of a large enough clinic to get a very good price on medicines so the Publix antibiotic program saves clients $$$. Publix will provide the antibiotic free to a pet just as it does free to a person as long there's a valid prescription.

Ooops, sorry! Still new to the site, and I guess I didn't dig deep enough to see if there was already a post. Thanks for the info about the vet...forgot that they sometimes prescribe antibiotics too!
