So last week I had a filling done on one of my teeth. Unfortunately it was almost down to the nerve and since it was on a Friday, the dentist prescribed me an antibiotic "just in case" I had any problems with it over the weekend or at night and couldn't get ahold of the dentist during off hours. So I went and filled it, just to have in case I had any problems. It's been sitting on my table ever since, luckily I haven't had any issues with it.
Fast forward to yesterday......I went to go see my general dr because I have this persistent cough that just won't go away. He said I had a bug and prescribed me some penicillan (sp). So I stop by CVS, had it filled, came home, took one and put the bottle next to my other meds. So this morning, I go to take one of my penicillans and noticed that I have an extra pill bottle sitting next to it. (I had forgot about the one from the dentist last week) I took a closer look at it and notice that it was actually the same script that I got from my doctor yesterday. Same amount of pills, same dosage, same amount of milligrams, etc. So here's my question.......when I went to fill my script from the dentist the other day, it cost me $3.38. Yesterday when I filled it from my doctor, (THE SAME PRESCRIPTION MIND YOU) It cost $13.33. I didn't realize it until this morning while I was reading both of my bottles, that they were the same exact script and that I paid a $10 difference. Does anyone know why there was such a difference? I'm so confused. LOL
