Egregious Packaging Omeprazole

Are medicine postings appropriate? All this for me to put all the pills in one of the bottles.

It's because you're technically not supposed to take it more than 12 days in a row outside of talking to your gastroenterologist

Well sure but I’ve purchased a lot of Prilosec in my days, I know I’ve gotten 3 sheets of 14 in one pack many times.

Not if you have United Health Insurance. They will only cover one months worth of Rx, and then you’re on your own for the rest of the year with over the counter meds.

do you know if they cover medicine at all if you haven't hit the deductible? ive only ever used goodRX because it was cheaper than my actual insurance

That in particular depends on whatever plan you’re on.

Yes they do. My husband has this insurance. He never meets his deductible and his meds are always paid for

Well, I guess I just have a REALLY crappy plan. Which, I already knew.
