I blame the Pensioners - too many Medical Cards gone to people who don't need them. So something else has to be cut back from the Health Budget.

I thought with the prescription scheme the maximum you pay per month for meds is E120?

Wertz

Warfarin at this stage has to be out of patent and way way cheaper than newer thinners. But the side effects can be nasty.

Before Series Two has even been made :eek:

Brendan O'Carroll won't go on air, there will be a queue of people who want him to pay off their Credit Union Loans.

But the government make up the rest...keeping the more expensive one off the market is a cost saving.

God the pharmaceutical companies will be delighted with this item!

Also, Joe, the New England Journal of Medicine does not give "rave reviews".

my friend

Joe: 'mary from blanchardstown go ahead'

mary: 'my local hospital, i dont want to name it'

Quite a number of regular posters here are possibly on large doses in that case.

Thanks for the clarification.

Ah jaysus missus. Yes, you do have to take it the same time every. Can you not get yourself into a rhythm and take it with your morning cup of tea or something.

Some people are desperate like that.

My mum is on medication, and she is SUPPOSED to take it in the morning and evening with food. She say she "prefers to take it at lunchtime". No amount of logic can convince her to take it at the right time.

And of course, if it doesn't work it won't be her fault. :rolleyes:

My mother's in her eighties, had a quad-bypass op years ago and a stroke and has no bother with her drugs regime. This moaning creature is pathetic.
