Blink wasn’t much off. $48 for 3 months. For me it’s a tempting idea when I go abroad and need drugs to stock up. This biggest hospital I’m at couldn’t order Cardizem for me so luckily when I left by ambulance I grabbed my own. My sotalol (theirs looks weird so I take my own), Eliquis (they use generic) I brough too. I figured they would have Prilosec (brand) because it’s sold by Teva pharmaceuticals down the street. Nope, they use a generic so I brought my own by chance. The only drug I left in the rush of calling for the ambulance was Crestor. They don’t offer it at all. It’s not in their drug basket.
Sopa-K liquid is a treasure they give me. It’s a sensitive to the stomach slow release potassium. It’s liquid but they sell a capsule as well by T. Slow K but their website states not to take if one has a history of GI bleed. Sopa-K gave me zero pain. It’s an intense K treatment in which more is absorbed quickly. With daily Lasix my K dropped to 3.2. Now 3 days later it’s 3.9. The internist assigned thinks I’m in range now and halved my dosage but both of my cardiologists want my k to range between 4-4.5. The EP at 4.5 to remind in nsr. They sell it here with a Russian label. I hope I can buy some at a pharmacy but I doubt it. I couldn’t get it last month at a different city because of liability of being a tourist without follow up labs and doctors.
