Having trouble buying your meds in today’s tough economic times? Fear no longer. Supermarket to the rescue!
At a time when the health of many families are affected by a difficult economy, The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, in a major consumer wellness initiative, is launching a free prescription program covering 36 generic antibiotics in nine basic categories. The program will run from January 2 to March 21 at all Stop & Shop pharmacies.
“Stop & Shop pharmacies are committed to improving the health and wellness in our communities during the winter season when families are susceptible to coughs, colds, and bacteria-borne illnesses,” said Andrea Astrachan, consumer advisor for Stop & Shop. “As the provider of fresh, wholesome foods that help our customers stay healthy, we feel it is equally important to offer these free antibiotics to fight illness.”
In recent months, Stop & Shop has held Affordable Food Summits, offered customers Real Deal savings and expanded its line of corporate brand products against the backdrop of a difficult economy. This new wellness initiative is all about access – to the prescriptions families need from a company that cares about the health and wellness of the communities it serves.
“Free antibiotics is the latest good news our pharmacies are offering the public,” said Astrachan. “We also offer up to a 90 day supply on over 350 commonly prescribed generic drugs for only $9.99.”
Stop & Shop is supporting the program with television advertising, physician outreach, in-store communication and an expanded web presence. For additional information along with a list of the antibiotics included in this program go to www.stopandshop.com/antibiotics.
