The NHS changed the system for prescriptions, from 8 weeks supply to four, and then put pressure on GPs not to let us reorder 'too soon'.
Most of my meds are 4 weekly, but my inhaler lasts 30 days so they moved that one.I get mine delivered from the pharmacy but they will only do that every 4 weeks.
I called the surgery and explained that I just couldn't cope with the new schedules so they put the inhaler back on 4 weekly as long as I promised not to order it every time.So back to every four weeks and I choose which ones I need each time.

I have no idea how Walgreens' stores will compete with product prices that are nowhere near others in the same market.

I priced a few different generic over-the-counter and behind-the-counter non-prescription medications today, and they cost significantly more at Walgreens than at three other local large-chain pharmacies. One of the meds cost over double at Walgreens!
Walgreens is owned by private equity by the way.

In a push to get #manufacturers of generic #medications to produce in the #USA, #trump plans 100% #tariffs on imported generic drugs in 2028 (increasing to 200% in 2029) 💊
~~
#MyThoughts –
The plan is to promote onshoring of generic meds, but it's a weak threat & a bit of a bluff because:1) Manufacturers will be given exceptions if they make individual deals w/ trump
2) 100% tariffs on generic meds in an election year? Good luck w/ Republicans winning *that* election.

Will #AI fix prior #authorization —or make it worse?
If you’re like me, you or a loved one has struggled through the process of gaining pre-approval for the #medical care that your #physician has recommended. Personal stories abound regarding the tribulations of #patients as they go through hoops to get their #health #insurer to pay for certain #prescription #medications , medical procedures, and more.

I'm unable to donate blood as when one of my #medications is given in huge doses to pregnant rats it can cause birth defects.
Personally I'd rather my blood was given to humans, not rats. -

If you’re getting #older or have a family member who is, read the article and then show it to your physician and ask questions about the #medications that you or your family member take. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/well/mind/medications-dementia-risk-increase.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ilA.MPG0.jjRI57nMyH1J&smid=nytcore-ios-share (gift link)

[It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

…Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking approval contained false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

…About 1 in 6 #US adults reported currently taking #SSRI #medications, which are widely available in generic form, acc/to a 2026 study in the medical journal BMJ #MentalHealth. The American Psychiatric Association considers #SSRIs a first option, evidence-based treatment for #depression.
The #FDA has authority over their use, & any new restrictions would require strong scientific evidence of a risk to patients that outweighs their benefits. Reviewing new evidence could take months or years….

The majority of abortions in the #US are obtained through #medications, usually a combination of #mifepristone & a second drug, #misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of #abortion bans that most #Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 #SCOTUS ruling that overturned #RoeVWade & allowed for state bans.

@ireneista @JessTheUnstill Alright! Hopefully last ping (unless further questions idk)
1. https://www.thevillagepharmacy.ca/organize-your-medications
2. https://medicineshoppeelbow.ca/medication-management/So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
No, apparently.
(Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.

For some insane reason, #Utah decided to implement a “medical #AI” system.
Among other things, it can “diagnose” your illness, and send a report to a physician that includes recommended #prescription #medications. Slight hiccup, though; you can trick it to recommend whatever dose of whatever meds you want!
There are other glaring problems with Dr. Autocomplete, revealed in a detailed report here:

[I still remember a talk that @RelaenaSindelar gave about pharmaceuticals in the waste stream; one of her examples was Sequim, WA - in the banana belt - with retirement communities' flushed medications’ and the downstream/coastal effects - NOT the Grand Canyon! :( ]

A story in two parts:
"Probably doesnt help that pharmaceutical companies are about as trustworthy as the national press in most countries. Nobody believes a word they say anymore due to hidden agendas and historic manipulation of information for corporate greed."
"well its either [Trump] or cackling Kamila and her merry band of men dressed as women in government so its just which is the lesser of two evils 🤔"
Both comments are from the same poster, in the same thread. You can probably guess the context. I've left grammar and spelling intact, because you know, I like to cite my sources accurately.
This is why I look side-eyed at people who claim to distruct #vaccines, or any #medications really, on the basis of #corporate malfeasance. Yes, #pharmaceutical companies tend toward greed and corruption. So do all companies. The bigger they get, the worse their behavior gets, and some pharmas are among the biggest corporations on the planet. Most aren't, BTW—small #biotechs betting everything they have on one or two possible treatments outnumber the Pfizers and Lillys about ten thousand to one. That being said, I do understand where the idea of drug development as a monolith comes from.
It's not why people go #antivax. I'd like to believe it was, because that would mean it might be possible to get through to them. I've learned better. Scratch anyone who uses the kind of vaguely leftish rhetoric in the first comment, on this particular topic, and there's a really good chance you'll find a right-wing loon. #NotAll as needed, but close enough. Most of the rest are lefties who seem determined to prove horseshoe theory.
And it *works*. Lots of mostly reasonable people will nod along with comments like the first, and never even see the second. If it gets posted at all—good propagandists are a lot smarter than this guy.
The effectiveness of this rhetoric is a big part of the reason why we currently have mass murderers in charge of our medical research system. They may kill you, and they will almost certainly kill at least a few people who matter to you. Do not forget.

India sends Humanitarian Assistance to Republic of #Cuba
June 2, 2024The #Government of #India is extending Humanitarian Assistance to the Government of #RepublicOfCuba. A consignment of approx 90 tonnes of nine Made in India #ActivePharmaceuticalIngredients ( APIs) left Mundra port on 2 June 2024.
These APIs will be used by the Cuban Drug Manufacturers to produce essential #antibiotics in the dosage form of tablets, capsules, syrups and injections, needed for treatment of chronic communicable diseases.
The assistance reaffirms India’s status as the "Pharmacy of the World” and underlines our commitment to historic friendship with #Cuba.

And once again, I'm late taking my medications. So, I have a drink, my pill bag, and took off shoes & socks to tuck them into fleece to warm up. Much cozier!
