A New Discovery! Something is Wrong With This Drug...

So today was one of the days where I worked in a private pharmacy in Jersey City. Upon filling prescriptions and what not, I came across a particular drug that caught my eye. No it was not the color of the box, nor the spelling.... well maybe it was the spelling. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think.


Yes that is correct everyone. This drug's brand name is FML, aka Fuck My Life to the people of the world these days. The drug's actual generic name is Fluorometholone. For those of you who are not familiar with the difference between a brand name and a generic name, the brand name is the name of the drug that the company manufactures it sells it as. The generic name is the common medical name of the drug that all companies that make the drug base their brand name off of. Let's say you go to a pharmacy, you can either get the brand name drug or the generic. I won't go into a lot of detail, but lets just say that buying the brand name drug would cost a lot more than just getting a generic substitute. Anywho, the main use of this drug in simple terms is to decrease inflammation of the eyelid and eye. But think of this situation. Imagine not being able to see clearly/barely because of an swollen eyelid. The doctor prescribes this drug to you. You pry ur eyelids open so you can put a drop or two of the drug into your eye. Later on (however long it takes for the drug to take effect) you regain your eyesight. However, just because the swelling goes down a little so you can see now, doesn't mean you can stop taking the drug. So you pick up the eyedropper and the label catches your eye. Lo and behold, you see that you are putting drops of FML into your eye. As if your life doesn't suck already having to take this drug. Oh the irony. Doesn't that make you just want to say FML?
