Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 25, 2010

I take two of those.

Me too. Blood pressure meds, for those lucky enough not to know.

“Let me introduce you to my little blue friend.”

Hydrochlorothiazide keeps me going, and going, and going…

DH was visiting out of state this summer and realized he left his Lisinopril at home. No problem! Half the people at the reunion had some they could share. Oh, wait, maybe that’s codgers, not pluggers.

If I can’t pronounce it, I don’t take it. A walk around the neighborhood is cheaper, and healthier with no side effects.

Pluggers don’t use big words because so few of them are in their vocabulary.

I am using all 3. Plus I’m taking Diltiazem (sp?). The statin is for cholesteral and the others are for HBP. I didn’t expect to see 3 real drugs in a comic!

try this depakote 500mg 5 a day venlafaxine 75 mg 1 a day carbamazepine 200 mg 2 a day crestor 20mg 1 a day lamototrigine 150mg 2 a day plus 2 more scips at pharmacy

Heck, I take so many pills, I rattle when I walk…

Notice that all of those are generics. Pluggers either can’t afford or don’t want to pay high prices for the “real” medicines. I know–I can’t afford them either, not that my insurance would pay for anything but generic.
