What really SCARES us!

It's that time of year when ghosts and goblins and zombies abound.  But do you want to know what really scares us?

The HIGH prices some pharmacies are charging for prescription drugs!

It is absolutely HORRIFYING what some pharmacies are charging!  Even though these other pharmacies source their medications from the same manufacturers and suppliers that we do, they may charge double, triple, or even ten times what we do.  Why do they do this? The simple answer is:  "because they can."  For too many years, we have never bothered to question how much our prescriptions cost us.  We just handed over our insurance card and our hard earned money as well.  Now that the economy looks scarier that a Lon Chaney movie, people are starting to take a hard, close look at what they're spending.  So are we!

We compared our prices for many prescription drugs with those of our competitors using their "drug savings" plans.  If these results don't SHOCK you, nothing will!  We think it's time to stop letting these other pharmacies TRICK us.  It's time to let HealthWarehouse.com TREAT you to affordable pricing, fast delivery, and award-winning customer service.  Let us know what you think and what you were paying before you found HealthWarehouse.com.

3 Common Pharmacy Tweets From PharmacyWatcher On Twitter

We've been monitoring pharmacy "tweets" for some time on the micro-blogging site Twitter.  It's fascinating to watch how people feel about their pharmacy experience in a real-time unedited format.  In fact, the format is so unedited, we've removed the expletives from the tweets.

3 Common Tweets From Pharmacy Watcher (@pharmacywatcher) on Twitter

1.  "The pharmacy line was longer than the post office.  That is wrong."
This is probably the most common theme we see.  While drive-thru windows help to alleviate some of the crowds during rush hour, the small size of pharmacy windows makes it difficult to physically fit more people behind the counter which leads us to the next tweet.

2.  "Asking stupid ?'s will get you slapped. "Do u guys have a pharmacy?" Ugh!?! Read the sign outside. "XXXXX!!! PHARMACY!!!"
As many of us have experience, the pharmacy counter itself is often an afterthought to the rest of the store.  Chances are you've had to work your way through the maze of aisles guessing on which corner the pharmacy counter is located at.

In addition to the difficulty experienced finding the pharmacy counter itself, this tweet highlights the arrogant attitudes we see when speaking with transfer customers on the phone.  This is a common theme in healthcare since patients have little choice but to purchase their medications every month.  Customers feel as though they are taken for granted and this tweet highlights why that might be the case.

3.  "Was just attacked by a crackhead in a XXXXX pharmacy and yes the police got involved."
Unfortunately in today's society, pharmacies have become focal points for trouble.  With large inventories of expensive, addictive drugs, there's no telling what can happen while waiting for your prescriptions.  

While many pharmacies take safety into consideration by providing on-site security, the lure of medications and sadly the addiction which causes it can create an unsafe environment when shopping.
