10 Years ago I started working for a retail pharmacy in Florida. A typical antibiotic back then cost around $11.99. That same antibiotic now costs $34.99 a more than 200% increase.
What are ways we can fight back against the prices, lessening our burden? And, can Bitcoin which can help us buy our home also help us pay for our prescription drugs.
What Is The Cost Of Prescription Drugs
The average cost of medications has risen 11.3% this year with expectations of 11.6% next year. This isn’t just specialty medication (which has risen by over 18% this year), but all prescriptions across the board. That means your inhaler has gone up, your blood pressure medications, anything and everything that you need just to live a healthy life.
With the rise of prices without the rise of income, the trick is to find a ways to cut costs.
You can switch to generics or less expensive brands, go though a preferred pharmacy, take advantage of free medication, or use a mail order.
Why Pay In Bitcoin?
If you have put any amount of your income into Bitcoin for safe keeping, or in hopes of increasing our income then using it may make sense to pay some bills. Other then that it’s another safe way of doing business that isn’t directly tied to your bank accounts providing another level of security when paying for things online.
Where Do You Buy Prescriptions With Bitcoin?
Once you have made your decision to pay with bitcoin it can be overwhelming to find a site that will allow you to do that. Going in to your local pharmacy isn’t likely to be successful, however you can find sites that will mail your prescriptions too you.
A quick google search will pull up what seems like nothing but black market, and illegal drugs for you to purchase. In researching this article a first I thought it may not be possible to find a site that will sell prescriptions for bitcoin. But after searching I was able to find The Swiss Pharmacy.
The Swiss Pharmacy had many reviews on other sites talking about how much people had saved and how quick the service was to get to them. To me that’s a win win, after working in the pharmacy for 10 years myself I know that the biggest complaint people have with mail order pharmacies is that they take too long to get their medication even running out before they receive it.
This Sounds A Little Illegal To Me
The first thing I asked, especially after looking at the initial search results, was is this legal. Again my years of working in the pharmacy also peaked my interest. Many of the sites selling prescriptions require no prescription to get it. I’m not sure how legally those sites operate or even the quality of the medication they use.
With The Swiss Pharmacy they require a prescription in order to send you anything. This makes me feel a lot better about using them verses other sites.
Yes You Can Use Bitcoin To Buy Prescription Drugs
With all of us trying to cut costs by any means, it’s great to see that Bitcoin can offer a safe way of buying drugs online. Reducing our cost for prescriptions and at the same time protecting our accounts.
