In March, I got an entire year of my Thyroid Prescription at one time. A&P had done this for me last year, too. Because they didn't have enough in their stock, they told me I'd have to take a three month supply with me and they'd ship the other 9 months of the Rx to my home. They called to ask if they could lift the seal of each bottle to insert cotton to keep the pills from being damaged in transit. I told them that was fine. When they arrived, all 300 pills had been dumped into one large Rx bottle. There was no pack inserted to protect them from moisture/oxygen, so the entire supply is now exposed & unprotected for the remainder of the year ahead. I have no idea how this will effect the potency or efficacy of the medication. I would expect a pharmacy to know better.
I was also told the Rx would be the same price as last year, but the price charged was actually about 25% higher.
I thought I had found a family oriented pharmacy that had its customers' health needs as top priority. I no longer believe that to be true. I don't know if this prescription will provide the results I need for the coming year. read more
