[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2283491, member: 9374"] Assuming $2.00 per dose may be a bit high or a bit low... without knowing anything about what they are stockpiling [B]for[/B]... The vast majority of ilnesses affecting the general population can be treated with relatively inexpensive antibiotics. The higher-end stuff is more often used on a patient population at high risk for resistant bacteria, such as individuals with chronic health problems who have been in a healthcare facility within the last 90 days. So there is a WIDE range of number of doses that can be obtained for that $11M. From maybe 30-40 million doses of amoxicillin, Bactrim or Cipro to as little as 1 million doses or less for some of the higher-end oral antibiotics like Avelox or Levaquin. I think if you're assuming $2.00 per dose for an "older" antibiotic, the .gov is getting [B]screwed[/B]. Hardcore. [/QUOTE]
