Gas Station Heroin (Zaza, Tianna Red, Neptune's Fix) & ED Pills (Rhino) Artwork

Druggist For The People

Four score and seven minutes ago (about an hour and a half) your physician brought forth, upon her desk, a new prescription, conceived in best medical practice, and dedicated to the proposition that all generics are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civilian war, testing whether that medication, or any medication so conceived, and so dedicated, can help us long endure. And maybe we can feel good at the same time. For forty years as a pharmacist, I've been building bridges - from the doctor to those in need of important drug information - you. With respect for the listener, and from the perspective that it is better to apply a recommended course of therapy than it is to comply with an ordered course, the goal here is not to provide specific answers about your drug therapy, but rather to help you generate the questions that will that will empower you in this. Toward that end, there will be weekly podcasts, very often with guests who will be "the people".

Summary: I think people trust that if a product is displayed in nice bright packaging beneath the bright white lights of the gas station, that it must be okay, it must be meeting some king of standard. Not necessarily. This episode addresses two types of “gas station drugs”: gas station heroin and ED pills. Those pills may well have gotten to those shelves and the FDA had no idea about it. Since there is a disclaimer stating the FDA has not evaluated any claims and that the product is not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease, most people think the worst that can happen is nothing. This episode is about not taking that chance.
