Oh & along with that comes a nice shiny brand-new patent & a list price increase from ~$5 to ~$75.
Funny thing though, if there was any significant amount of freon in the generic version the inhaler itself would have been a huffer’s dream. My guess is that the amount of freon released by opening an older automotive AC system would be similar to the amount of freon released by ~100K of these generic inhalers.

Oh, & just for yux wrt drug importation, looked at my wife’s blood pressure meds last night – no, it’s ‘unsafe’ to re-import US-made meds from Canadian pharmacies, but importing meds from Israel as are hers? No problem!

I heard they were teaching an Oragutan how to play the banjo and they can’t start the next project without it. Artists….

They’re given a list of things to say when people call in to complain; it doesn’t matter if they’re true or not, because what are you going to do? I had my doctor send a prescription in twice for a fairly expensive drug, and they discarded it because they didn’t want to pay their share. When I called to ask why it wasn’t in their records, they said it was because the drug had to be preapproved before it was submitted. Only…when I pressed the point with a supervisor, they said no, this particular drug does not have to be preapproved. “Preapproved” was just first on the operator’s list of things to tell customers who call and complain their prescriptions have disappeared.

There were people and cars and cops and am-blintz and Fyre trux to the right & Up & over/under tonight.

We stayed out of teh way and arrived at parking.

‘$5.oo Event Parking’ said teh sign.

“Are you going to teh restaurant?” was teh query.

“The PLAY!” we replied.

“OK. Over there on teh right are spaces.”

No charge.

If you’re going to Nutcracker, give me five bucks. If you’re here to eat or TD&H, it’s free.

Great show we attended.

I imagine the big event show included teh scary big head crackers.

Joes ready to crack you without a second thought.
