Meskhenet posted:They also expire every 6 months or so, so even if you never use one you're up for over a grand a year. (or you can be like parents at some schools that just bring the same one in every year and hope some other kid's parents actually bring one in that will work. Or the school buys one) im pretty sure they're only sold in packs of two, so it's more like $2400 a year

Sagebrush posted:the company has spent millions of dollars lobbying to create laws requiring all schools to purchase and maintain a supply of epi-pens. see like, i don't think schools shouldn't have a supply of epinephrine, but, surely phials of the stuff + normal injectors and a good nurse would be more cost effective? whole lotta kids got allergies, it's something useful to have, it's that it *specifically* has to be epipens, and that the FDA has blocked competitors, that bugs me (and also that the company had any say lmao)

echinopsis posted:epipens are pretty cool. we get expired ones and you stab a box with them to see what happens.. what are medication prices like in NZ, actually? aus is generally pretty ok but there's some issues where like, a medication won't be covered for adults so instead of being $22.50 it's like fuckin $500/month, tho this is reasonably uncommon

echinopsis posted:overall we probably pay the least for our wholesale medicines in the entire western world the pharmaceutical benefits scheme is pretty similar but ~price signalling~ so we still pay like $30 to $40 for some things our doctor visits range from free (bulk billed to medicare) or a hundred to two hundred bucks, tho, so we do pretty alright main issue is that there's politically driven decision making, so things like prep dont get on the list despite having huge public health benefits, and uncommon conditions (or conditions thought of as uncommon, or conditions with medications that people who dont need them think are fun) kinda get shafted depending on the day of the week, lol and then there's the politicians wanting to have medicare pay doctors less, etc, because ~government spending is bad~, etc god, even your loving nats are at least moderately ok w/ lgbt folks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Greenstein lmao, dude got shot and the bullet just flattened on his forehead then a few years later beat up a bunch of nazis and got away with it, noice

Awia posted:what do you mean compounded? compounded medications are where the pharmacist has to actually compound the medications - get the ingredients, put them in the capsules, etc it's super uncommon, but occasionally a doctor will prescribe a medication that has to be compounded for the right amounts of each active ingredient, or which isn't sold pre-made for whatever reason (I think ergotamine is sold normally in the US but in aus concerns about its relation to Ergot and LSD have prevented that) basically think 'research chems' but prescribed by a doctor and regulated

BlastPHANT1337 posted:I prescribe triptans all the time for migraine patients, never taken them myself but my gf says they work wonders. Persistent daily headaches are a bitch to treat though cause you're right about some meds increasing severity/frequency. Your friendly local neurologist can get you on one of a number of preventive daily meds that can help. triptans made my migraine like, a thousand times worse the first time i took them, noped the gently caress out was on amitryptyline for a while but didnt help a lot (it's supposed to be a preventative, a neuro put me on it) the main issue rn is finding a doc that treats migraines seriously rather than just ignoring them or w/e
