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.

#Editors, how should you handle #trade & #generic names for #medications? @laurapoole.bsky.social explains in a Quad blog post: https://quadlings.com/copyediting-drug-names/. The Quad is a #MastermindGroup that she, 5 others, & I have been in since 2015. https://quadlings.com

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.]

#MentalHealth #health

…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.

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.
*That's* what I was missing.

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:

Thinking about all this stuff where people are trying to link #vaccines and other #medicines (like the mellinia old #tylenol) to the supposedly large increase in the rate of #autism, and it's reminding me of something...

When my mother was #pregnant with my older brother, there was some sort of gas leak, and she was exposed to fumes which gave her headaches over several months. My mother was otherwise not really exposed to many drugs: she remembered the #thalidomide scandal. When my brother was a baby, he began displaying #autistic behaviors before he had his first #vaccine.

What occurs to me as I think about it now is, there is a lot of talk about commonplace and relatively safe #medications and vaccines supposedly causing autism to climb significantly (of which I have doubts), but none of these people seem to be talking about the various and increasingly exotic #pollution that pregnant women are exposed to on a regular basis...
