Problem:
Choose one prescription drug that has a generic available (the pharmacy MUST sell both the generic and the brand of the chosen drug) and one over-the-counter (OTC) drug you would be likely to recommend to patients. Next locate one pharmacy from each of the four different types listed below:
Large chain pharmacies such as Walgreens, CVS, Eckard's, etc.
Grocery store associate pharmacies such as Publix, Kroger, etc.
Privately owned local pharmacy
Pharmacy associated with a "big box" store such as Target, Walmart, etc.
Do not use any drugs on the pharmacy's four dollar or other special price list. If the pharmacy has a "club card," coupons or other special way of getting lower cost, do not use this cost. The cost you are examining is the "cash price" for uninsured patients.
