Meijer announces prescription drug give away
Meijer officials announced that they will give away the top seven prescription medications used for fighting bacterial infections. The decision comes in response to Wal-Mart’s announcement of their $4 prescription plan which was rolled out to Michigan stores last month.
According to excerpts from the story:
Meijer, a privately held U.S. retailer, said on Monday it would give away certain prescription drugs, especially antibiotics that are most often taken for childhood ailments such as strep throat.
The plan covers amoxicillin, cephalexin, SMZ-TMP, ciprofloxacin, penicillin VK, ampicillin and erythromycin, the company said.
Meijer’s plan comes one month after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) started offering certain generic prescription drugs for $4, including most of the drugs on Meijer’s list.
