This is nice of you, but I hope you realize you're blowing up your spot. These pharmacies have inventory because they haven't been inundated yet. If a lot of people see this, and you help them out through spreading awareness, next week/month these pharmacies might not have the inventory to fill your rx.

This is a nice thing to do, just making sure you've considered the consequence!

Edit: Source: worked in a pharmacy during a similar time, we got highlighted like this and were out of stock of the sought after meds in all strengths by the next morning.

Oof, yeah you make a great point.

Going to leave it up a little longer to be kind, then take it down.

Yeah my pharmacy was fine for a while and then in a FB group someone called out how it had been filling their scripts every month without issue. Two weeks later went to fill my script and they were all out. I get people wanting to help out but unfortunately what winds up happening is everyone floods that particular pharmacy and leaves the people who live in that community scrambling to find a pharmacy who can now fill their scripts.
