Do you have a lot of new Pharmacies opening around you or pharmacies expanding and adding at new locations? Do you think it says something when pharmacies start adding new locations, expand and new ones are opening?

Jack is right, and with all the aging baby boomers, it's definitely a growth industry. The big chains are basically trying to saturate the market and squeeze out the small independent local pharmacies; you know, the ones who know you by name and not by social security number.

Kind of what I was thinking, but also thinking it may show how drugs are becoming a bigger way of life for many?

They certainly are, Breezey. If you have high blood pressure, you could quit smoking and drinking, get more exercise, eat healthier and lose excess weight, or you can take a pill. A lot of people seem to prefer the easy way. Think about all the advertising you see for pharmaceuticals on TV, in newspapers and magazines, on the internet and radio; How many ads did you see when you were growing up? Maybe one for Pepto-Bismal, one for Excedrin, and one for Alka-Seltzer?

You got that right Tater. We have so many natural herbs that can do the same thing but just the mention of herbs to a doc, forget it. Like Jack said, GREED. We just got a new Walgreens, we have Longs, and Kaiser. We got plenty. I hate pills but I have to take them because the doc screwed up my biopsy, now I am stuck on this damn heart pill. I never had to take a heart pill in my life. The only pill I like is my multi vitamin, thats it. I weaned myself off everything else. They get you addicted, then they cut you off, it's a viscious cycle. Health care in this country sucks. Stop with the food commercials, stop with the drug commercials, emphasize fitness, and everyone will be happy. Oh ciggs are legal, they cause cancer, grow tumors but they are legal. The doc loves it, it's money in the bank for him.After seeing first hand how this system works and being in it, my bottom line is never get sick, stay away from doctors, eat right, drink smart, don't smoke and you will live a long and healthy life.

A new pharmacy opened close to me. It's on a corner and quite noticeable. I guess they felt they needed to get more attention and stuck an inflatable pill bottle on top of the roof.
I know people who are on five and six pills at a time and a doctor sees nothing wrong with that. Some of the pills even end up counter acting each other. Some are being given on a trial basis and waiting to see if there are really bad adverse effects.
A mother had her child on medication the doctor prescribed. Turns out that particular medication makes many people violent.
Pharmacies seem to be the in thing... even if it's not a good thing.
People just follow the crowd and take whatever pills they're told to take just because a damn doctor told them to and we all know doctors know what's best for us.... right?
Okay... I'm done now.

I had the same experience. I am taking this heart pil called metropolol, that came when the doc screwed up my biopsy. Now I get a tooth pulled and they give me penicillin. I asked the pharmacist is there any interaction between these pills, OH no he replied, well guess what, I am allergic to penicillin, I thought I was going to have a heart attack one day. I hate pills.
