The list includes common prescriptions such as amoxicillin and ampicillin and is good for up to a 14-day supply.

Customers don't need to register for the free drugs. All they need is a valid prescription.

A note on Giant Eagle's Web site says it reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time.

Previously, the antibiotics cost customers $4 each.
