Wegmans has become the latest supermarket to offer customers free generic antibiotic prescriptions during the winter cold and flu season, according to published reports.
 
The Rochester, N.Y.-based grocer will fill shoppers’ prescriptions for nine types of drugs when they use a Shoppers Club card through March 31, including Amoxicillin, Penicillin, and Tetracycline.
 
“We understand the economic pressures families are facing, including the rising cost of health care, which is something I’m especially concerned about,” said the company’s CEO, Danny Wegman.
