How does this purportedly save money? Maybe I should try it. If two are
using the drug, they will use twice as much. If one is using the drug
and both need it, then one or both will suffer.

If they are doing this to save on medical costs, then one or the other
will not be visiting a doctor and they will have only one Rx to share
between the two. It is a lose-lose situation.

Maybe you are researching an urban myth.
