Generic Miralax

Postby sidra1968 » 12 Oct 2009, 18:54

Hey everyone..just thought I'd mention that CVS now carries a generic version of Miralax, called Purelax, I believe, and it's 50% less expensive. I'm gonna give it a go.
Just thought some of you might want to know,

Nice, thanks for the heads up! Gonna have to see if my local store carries it, out here all of our Long's Drugs stores just became CVS Pharmacy. For some reason it doesn't show up as in stock at any of my local stores but for 50% off I'll have to take a peek in person! Always seemed weird to me that there wasn't a generic version of MiraLAX like there is for everything else.

Well, I saw it in Sunday's ad circular - I believe it was the big, 30 dose bottle for $9.99. That's about 50% difference, if you can't get the Miralax on sale - which in general I have, but the absolute lowest I paid was $14.99 with the Walgreens Register Rewards (rebate).
If good, this will save me/us $120 per year!
Damn, I'm up early......got to go in early today : (

lol I'd consider myself up early today and it's just 8:30 AM :) Yeah $9.99 is a good price, lowest I've paid is the Costco 2-pack, the big bottle runs about $23 on average individually at the local drug stores.

Had to up at 5:15, and to morrow up at 4 AM as we are leaving for San Antonio and our flight is at 5:50 AM..YIKES!
I may not be on here much for the next 6 days due to the trip, but I may (depending on the wireless at the hotel). I seem to have the tiniest touch of a stomach bug and feel a tad feverish, but it still doesn't compare to the last trip I took in July with the fissure in full force..at least a few pills and a whiskey with lemon will quell my aches and pains. LOL..AND I know it's simply a matter of time till I feel better.
NG, I'll make sure to have a cocktail for you on The Riverwalk tomorrow night.

Nice, have fun in San Antonio! And yeah, make it a coke and rum please :) Once I'm off the Valium I think I'm going to have a beer or two, fissure be damned! It's been about 11 months since I last had any alcohol whatsoever, far too long...

My sis just e-mailed me and said to go to Tequila Mockingbird..said they have over 200 types of tequila. I will have a cuba libre for you, don't you fret.
11 months..that's CRAZY.

Haha tequila was a favorite of mine until a trip to Puerto Vallarta when ummmm "too overly copious" quantities of it was consumed -- now I shiver on sight of it! Well you're off to San Antonio and tequila, I'm off to the colorectal doc and Valium withdrawal... Whoever said life was fair :)

Have a good trip, Sidra. BTW I like the pic you posted! Image Don't know if I will be drinking alcohol very much on our upcoming cruise this week or not!

NG, it used to be my favorite also..just as I hit 40 it started hurting a lot, so now I can only handle a quick high end shot and resume with other, less dangerous drinks..and I have to do it early so I can burn it off or whatever.
Cheryl, thanks..I will change pics soon..I'll try to put some of my Egypt ones up.
Have a blast on the cruise..where are you headed?
