    Most of that product comes in a sealed 30-day supply, not something dispensed by the pharm in an unsealed bottle, so I imagine places that accept scripts would take them.

    FWIW, anyone taking any high priced meds that have a high copay or deductible or out of pocket cost - CHECK THE MFR WEBSITE - or try GoodRX and the like for discounts.

    My blood doc recently changed me from Warfarin (rat poison) to Eliquis and the $5 insurance copay went to $60 (even though we are blessed with outstanding private insurance) but ends up being $10 with a discount card good for two years from the drug maker.

    Anti-coagulant for blood clots I'm guessing?

    I recall a TV show where the plot stated suicide bombers would put rat poison in their vests to discourage clotting of victims, ensuring more would bleed out during a mass casualty event.

    No, it was like CSI or Law and Order or something which advertises itself as the fiction it is, rather than the truth it's not.

    Yes, Warfarin is basically low dose rat poison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warfarin

    It takes time to "dose up" so I doubt the bomber thing is even a little viable.

    Heparin is used sub-q or IV for rapid anticoagulant. I doubt even that would be effective in a bomb scenario.

    I have a blood disorder that's basically the reverse of hemophilia. Plus I'm old, fat, sedentary, and have had a few clots post knee surgery, and had a double PE. Lucky to be alive. I really should take better care of myself. ;-)
