I'm from Andover, MA, and there is the same availability for two months supplies of drugs via Merck-Medco, which works very well indeed. As I must handle regular copayments for two kinds of insulin, for diabetic blood sugar monitoring machine strips, for syringes, in addition to 5 prescription medications related to PD, I'd be in the poorhouse for sure without it. The only hitch is the need to allow 10 days to obtain the meds, and the need to have the meds all arrive in a place that will be occupied, so that they can in fact be hand-delivered. Those two considerations required an enhancement of my organizational skills! One solution has been to ask my physicians always to write two prescriptions for any drug -- one (for up to two weeks duration) to be left with the local pharmacy, and one (refillable as many times as the doctor is willing) for a two-month's supply from Merck-Medco. Try it; you'll like it. Regards, John Bachman
