to mix it myself and the pharmacist stopped him. We all laughed. Each bottle of the mixed product was 16 bucks, and I almost got away with everything I needed to mix up three bottles worth for the price of one.

The prescription listed each ingredient and the amount to be used, and the clerk kept bringing bottles of stuff up to the counter and bagging them.

The military hospital wasn't allowed to make the mixture so I had to use another place. They weren't licensed to mix on the spot. I did get some of my money back on it though.
