Well, the disgusting things made a reappearance at the end of our trip to Toronto.
Wasn't too bothered by that, a little annoyed mainly, but we were going home the next day so we just gave him another dose of the pills when we got home. Now, several days later it appears I have them too.
So we decided to go ahead and dose the whole family, and I ran out to the pharmacy to get more pills.
Here's where the rage comes in: I was talking to the pharmacist about how to give it to DD (smash up pill or buy the liquid?), and said something about the fact that it's a one dose thing, and she goes, "Oh no, you have to take two doses." I was confused, since I read the info in the box very carefully and all it said about a second dose is that it's needed in rare cases. So I asked, "Do you mean the fact that he has to take two pills in the one dose?" She replied, "No, you all have to take 2 doses," and she goes to print off some sheet from their database. She shows it to me, and the recommendation is clearly to give a second dose 2 weeks after the first. It says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this in the literature that comes with the pills!
Not only that, but nobody at the pharmacy said anything when I bought them last time, and wouldn't have said anything this time if I hadn't had specific questions to ask them!
This whole second round (plus me getting it
) could have been totally avoided!
Planning to address this with the drug company and with the store, since this is totally ridiculous. But wanted to make sure everyone knows that TWO DOSES are needed if this happens to your family.
