Medical supplies readily available in LA area
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am in need of a small 18- to 22-inch butterfly pillow for my neck. The medical store in Farmington closed some time ago. Would there be a store in the Auburn area that might carry these pillows?
Also what has happened to the brand Imodium? No store has it. When one asks, the reply is it won't be back for a long time. I know there is a generic, but some just don't work as well as the brand name. Thank you. — No Name via email
ANSWER: There are plenty of options for medical supplies in Southern Maine, including three in this region: Bedard Pharmacy and Medical Supply (currently at 1125 Lisbon St., Lewiston, 784-3700, but soon to be in Auburn), the Medicine Shoppe (373 Sabattus St., Lewiston, 783-3539) and Major’s Mobility (49 Topsham Fair Road, Topsham, 800-570-3393). Both Bedard and the Medicine Shoppe are in the process of expanding their stores and service.
