Re: Diflucan delivery method?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the advice. We picked up a month supply yesterday and used your

advice. We ordered the 3 month supply and will pick up the supplies for the

other two months when needed. Because we did it this way the 3 month supply

only costs us $11 (1 month of Amphotericin cost us $100 - I'm still hurting from

that especially given that got yeasty toward the end). Also, they gave us

the little vials of diflucan and separate vials of distilled water so we can mix

it on our own. This really worked out thanks to everyone's advice. Thanks

again!
