I have a regular purchase to make in the chemist - Artelac 10ml eye drops. It is an OTC product i.e. no prescription required.
Some example of the variations involved.
Pharmacist at the KCR in Kimmage charges 4.90
Doc Morris Rathmines 4.55
Boots Rathmines 6.20 (or 6.40 not sure which so went for the lower).
The usual price charged in pharmacies is between 4.53 to 4.57.
The pharmacist at the KCR is persistently higher. I enquired as to whether they were "dual pricing" but received no satisfactory answer.
The Boots price could be a glitch but it is seriously out of the normal range.
The reimbursement price on the HSE website is 2.55 euros or thereabouts.
Mad price differences so it pays to shop around!
