Go on, show me. Under 430 return, Dublin to Baltimore, once every 3 months all year around.

Now find me the same in February, May and August; and city transfers and overnight accommodation (x3, in this case) with whatever is left over.

How much savings do you think you're going to have left from your €432?

Eh no, you can contact a travel agent yourself.

Translation: you can't find any.

Sale prices in the depths of winter don't even come close to making this ridiculous suggestion a viable idea; let alone dealing with the tourist season.

This is a bloody horrendously bad idea of theirs as it happens.

I'm curious to know why you think so.
They're not dishing out free antibiotics with every purchase of a cough bottle. You still need to have a prescription for the antibiotics.

Still works out as a tacit encouragement to take them. US medical regulation is a mess in that regard in general, advertising prescription drugs direct to patients and actively encouraging them to badger their doctor to prescribe.

We're as guilty- I was listening to a woman complain yesterday- that her trip to the doctor was wasted, because the GP didn't prescribe her anything. We have this notion that a doctor is a glorified shopkeeper- and antibiotics and other medicines are brightly coloured flavoursome sweeties- and patients are kids in a sweetshop........ Its true.

Your logic seems strange. I agree with you on the advertising. "Ask you doctor about XYZ". They still need a doctor to prescribe them though. The only encouragement is to go to that store to get them. Doctors in the US are afraid of their collective shítes to play fast and loose with prescriptions due to the regs on off label use of medicines over there.

I like the way in Florida that it is an offence not to offer a customer a cheaper generic if there is an alternative to the one prescribed.

another good comparison on generics is cetrizine hydrochloride, basically hay fever tablets.

Non generic box of 7: 6 to 8 euros
generic box of 7: 40 cents :eek:

Where can you get them for 40c ?
