    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 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.

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

    Pill shape matters not.

    Size, on the other hand… Fuck large pills, I’d rather take 5 small ones than 1 large one.

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