Aesculapius on the leg or How to save money on medications

Don’t know about you, but in my large family this is an urgent issue. Let somebody pribolet – write, was gone. Lost theatre, Dolphinarium, water Park, windtunnel…what we once dreamed of? No, not due to the fact that we do not have time to recover. Just money will not be it all. All the money will go to another aerodrome that is deeper and darker. So we came up with some rules of treatment. Help us, maybe you could use it.

Rule 1.

Medicine to some extent akin to shamanism, playing “guess the disease”. Even the doctor, coming on your complaint on temperature, cough, runny nose ,puts you what? Right, SARS. Mind you, not the zika virus. No, well, although there are some doctors that you will find if you give on a paw doctor. But in most cases, SARS is. But sometimes (and very surprised) that instead of SARS, you suddenly put a sore throat and prescribe an antibiotic. Even the little pimple on the ass may be chicken pox. So the first rule is to go to the doctor. Without interruption or break, paid or free, but come on. In big cities through an electronic record it is not difficult. If the doctor will prescribe tests – all great. Then magic will step in the direction of medicine. Needless to say, there are situations when it is necessary to the doctor immediately? I think not. The self is not only is harmful to health, but also lead to unwarranted spending.

Rule 2.

If you treat and treat, and it all passes and does not pass go again. To another doctor. It is possible that your first doctor is not able to treat. It happens. If it does not resolve itself, don’t need to experience the whole of pharmacy, even the will of the doctor, definitely need objective information, i.e. surveys. The culture on the flora with definition of sensitivity, ultrasound. Very cool that appointing yourself the crop flora from the nasopharynx, and bringing Laura finished result, you just amaze and delight. But in most cases the doctor knows what you need, so still not worth it to spend money on self-examination. Self-examination can be useful only in the case if the clinic cannot do. As I explained to one doctor, clinics are under the hood at insurance companies who decide, reasonably or that the examination of the patient or not, although they had never seen this unfortunate patient. And if the insurance company deems patient preobladanie, it may not reimburse the clinic the costs of your “extra” ultrasound. Therefore, your task is to the doctor told you that you really need.

Rule 3.

Audit of medicines at home. Polikanov all the from a home kit, you can understand how deadly Arsenal you already have. If you already have tablets from the throat, and the doctor prescribes you some other, don’t hesitate and let us know what you already have. It is very possible that you will be allowed to adopt and not buy a new one. This applies not only to the tablets from the throat, but also flows from common cold, abdominal pain, temperature, any, most common tit.

Instilled 4.

There are doctors that keep your wallet, there are those who spit on him and on you too. There are those who protects your wallet so hard that prescribe old drugs, when there is a new, more effective, less toxic. And there are doctors who are paid the money the pharmaceutical company and they prescribed that to them “the doctor ordered”. So you need not so much the name of the medication and the active ingredient in it. One good doctor tells me “Unable to purchase this drug, it costs 500 rubles, and you can here this, its complete analogue for 100”. Almost every drug is an analogue, much less a table full of analogues of the Network. But again, do not replace medication without consulting. At least with a pharmacist.

Rule 5.

Some medications does not medication, and a powerful public relations project pharmacists. And the most egregious of them according to all the doctors I had to deal with – medication for nasal irrigation sea water. Since you never check what there tap sea water, make this water yourself, the web is full of instructions on this. If lazy, buy a saline solution and a syringe. The second biggest PR stunt is any kind of bacteria that help to restore the intestinal flora. About that too much has been said on TV.

Rule 6.

Finally , pharmacy. I can’t speak for all cities, but in Moscow for a long time, there are online resources that will help you to choose the pharmacy where you can buy drugs cheaper. However, vigilance is the cornerstone! Me met a vaccine for 4 thousand roubles, in the country of origin costs 130 euros and is issued only to specialized companies. And therefore choose the lowest price of a similar, not to run into forgery.

 

That’s all truths. It is important to remember this in difficult times. And if you remember does not work, then write them down somewhere. Or to take something for memory.
