    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.

    Pill shape matters not.

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

    I can’t do either unless absolutely necessary, causes too much stomach pain from prior GI bleeds

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