I was right, more antibiotics. I got the script filled at the on site pharmacy, that turned out to be a much more expensive option than the discount chemist was.
I take a couple of meds daily, getting both costs me under $20 a month from Chemist warehouse.
Couldn't be stuffed with them the other day and filled my script at the local chemist. $35 total.
I can't justify supporting a small business with such a difference.
Healthylife is Woolies (boo) but they sometimes have cheaper generics than even CW if you don't mind waiting for shipping (which is free with at least one prescription item in your order). They have cheaper non-prescription items sometimes too, like electrolyte drink tablets and surgical wash.
