Free Antibiotics at Publix

Publix has been offering free antibiotics for a while now but it was surprising to me how many people weren't aware of it. So, I thought I might let everyone who didn't know, know and remind those who did. The nasty cold weather is upon us and so is the chance of illness. So, regardless of what health plan you have (if any) you can get the following antibiotics for free from a Publix pharmacy:

* Amoxicillin
* Cephalexin (capsules and suspension only)
* Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP)
* Ciprofloxacin (excluding Ciprofloxacin XR)
* Penicillin VK
* Ampicillin
* Erythromycin Stearate and Ethylsuccinate
* Doxycycline Hyclate (capsules)

Just another way to save money! My husband actually needed to fill a prescription today and thank goodness he stopped to call. He was on his way to CVS and I said "WAIT! What is it for?!" Sure enough, it was on the list and Publix is only a mile from the house! So the next time you have to go to the pharmacy for a antibiotic, make sure you check the list and see if it's free!
