    Whether it’s a preemptive strike and you’re stocking up on multi-vitamins, or you happen to be bedridden with a nasty case of the flu, at some point you’re going to need to shop at the pharmacy.

    Of course certain names come to mind – Dischem and Clicks being two – but some of our bigger supermarket chains also have their own in-store dispensaries.

    So where are you getting the best bang for your buck? The team at BusinessTech are on the case:

    [They] compared 10 common over the counter pharmaceutical products that cater for a wide range of ailments from five major pharmacies.

    Promotional discounts were not taken into consideration, though it should be noted that stores hold specials on a regular basis – often seasonally, to cater for associated ailments.

    Looking at the selected basket, it’s clear that prices for medical OTC [over the counter] medical products stay pretty much in range across the board, though each store has its own highs and lows.

    When you take the total cost of those 10 purchases here’s how they stack up:

    And a more detailed breakdown of each item’s pricing across the various outlets:

    Use that information as you please – just don’t be that person who takes their liking of cough syrup a little too far (HERE).
