We have a store chain here in Michigan that is giving several
prescription antibiotics away for free.  (It is ironic that it is the
same store chain that sponsored an antibiotic drug collection program.) 
Overall, antibiotic prescriptions are down from last year in Michigan. 
They are promoting patient education.  I hope the antibiotic demand
doesn't increase just because of they are free.  Here's a link to the
Michigan Antibiotic Resistance Reduction Coalition website.  It has a
lot of good information and links.  http://www.mi-marr.org/
