BC Pharmacies

MH_Stevens - 10-29-2005 at 02:22 PM

Anyone have experience or advice of buying medications from BC pharmacies? When I was in Ensenada last week I noted some very good prices on antibiotics that many are advising we should stock-pile as they wont be available if the bird flue or anthrax etc comes our way. Note US supplies of Triflue (the bird flue treatment) are exhausted already.

The bird flu stuff is called Tamiflu.

As to buying in BC, if you go to one of the big BC pharmacy chains you should be ok.

It is controlled by the govt. and is available for the very young or very old. At hospitals only.


I can get all you want. A druggist friend wants to set up a web site to sell it to nervous gringos. :biggrin:

We received this recently re:"Bird Flu"
Someone from Tyson Foods that travels in Baja....
We do not know anything about this new strain of FLU..

______________________
The new BirdFlu is upon us.

Bird Flu symptoms are said to range from a slight clucking and propensity to peck at the carpet.

A mild headache, sore throat; and, ultimately, a massive internal organ discharge where the liver, spleen, kidneys and several feet of greeny-purpley tubes are seen to blast from the victim's every orifice.

At this point a little aspirin may be taken.

Those wishing to protect their homes and families from the virus are recommended to avoid talking to chickens.

If one should pass you on the street, do not make eye contact.

Cross quickly to the other side and pretend to be searching in your pockets for something.

Should a chicken knock on your door, homeowners are advised to hide behind the sofa until the danger has passed.

Chicks are not known for their patience and will soon be off to try their luck next door.

Finally, remember that with Easter fast approaching, old and young alike are vulnerable to the chocolate-egg-mutation-strain.

Unwrapping that lovely shiny color foil could be the very last thing you do.
Beware!!!
