Think sainsburys are pricing themselves out of the market this year. pack of 30 generic piriton at £199.00 according to the hayfever article. think i'd rather suffer :rotfl:0

Brand name Piriton is actually very cheap when bought wholesale. We sell them at 3p each and still make a decent profit. £1.99 for 30 seems expensive to me but they can charge what they like as people don't like to suffer from hayfever (and no you can't buy them from your vet for human use!)0

I have just had the e-mail from MSE about the hayfever tablets and last week we dropped the price of cetirizine in our bulk buy section to £0.59 for 30. This is the lowest in the marketplace :T and on offer until 6th May 2008.

Sorry if this is seen as self-promotion, but there seems to have been an error on the market research.
We also have regular discount coupons on mail shots to regular customer giving them 10% discounts.
I also feel there is lack of research on the article on these lines, which many people use in conjunction with their tablets:
Beconase (100 Sprays) £3 at Tesco. £3.98 each at Superdrug, ASDA and Boots
Flixonase (180 Sprays) £6.99 at Boots
Sodium Cromoglicate Eye Drops Own Brand £4.79 Boots
These lines are available significantly cheaper online, as generics, as beclomethasone nasal spray 200 dose is available from £2.99, fluticasone nasal spray from £4.99 and sodium cromoglicate eye drops from £1.29.
Maybe the mods need to do a little more research!“Official Company Representative

Piriton certainly helps me cope with Hay Fever and can calm down insect bites too.
Tesco pharmacy sold me 500 tablets (unbranded) for £8.18 (expiry date is 2010).
Going shares with another sufferer makes this a sound buy :T.0 -
my son finds the lidls non drowsy hayfever tablets the best,i think they cost about 89p a box0

I read the artice, and the bit that said:
"Patent laws mean there is currently no generic equivalent of Benadryl, which makes it one of the most expensive treatments in the long-term."
A couple of years ago I was prescribed one called Semprex, which was acrivastine, which is what Benadryl is, however my last prescroption was Benadryl, so what happended to Semprex I don't know, bit of a bummer really because the Semprex came in a pack of about 60, which would probably last me a couple of summers. Benadryl, I think, only comes in 12 or maybe 24 ??
Picture here: Not especially clear, sorry. It's scanned0 -
