Zovirax Cold sore cream in Spain ....Bargain

Jubilado

I bought a tube of Zovirax cold sore cream at a pharmacy in Spain which cost
Euros 2.79 (under £2). Exact same box as here in the UK but printed leaflet inside is in Spanish, obviously, and it stated that it was made in UK.

This is a signifiicant saving on UK price which is around £6 for the identical product.

Maybe worthwhile picking some up if you are over on holiday.

...and don't forget most farmácias in Spain will sell you antibiotics over the counter - cheaper than a UK prescription too.

I noticed that the active ingrdient in Zovirax is aciclovir. You can buy a different product called soothelip for half the price from Boots and it has the same active ingredient aciclovir in it. BUT, even better is cold sore cream from Poundland or Savers by Galpharm for £1 !! and yes the active ingredient is aciclovir. Saved myself a fortune.

Forget the suitcases, an empty truck more like it. Just about all hardware items are around HALF the price.As long as its not got a plug on it-buy it.
