Are Medicines Priced the Same Across All Pharmacies?

Was wondering which pharmacy sells medicines cheaper than the others.

    No some pharmacies are a lot cheaper.

    Chemist warehouse seems to be usually cheaper

    • Chemist warehouse is like the bunnings of the pharmacy world. Everything you need is there usually priced very competitively but not always the cheapest. I dont rate their patient counselling very highly.

  • No they are not. Some even substitute for cheaper generics too

  • Yes and no, depends on the medication(s) in question.

    Worth shopping around to save some $, but if you have multiple health condition and needs lots of regular medications, a good pharmacist is more helpful than good prices only.

  • Most PBS meds should be the same price in any pharmacy

    • Right.

      To get around this Chemist Warehouse adds a "dispensing service charge". This makes their 6 foot signs claiming to be cheaper than everyone else placed approximately every 2 feet in the store incorrect.

      They probably need to charge more for their sign budget in order to keep up with the sign every 2 feet performance metric.

  • I was going to chemist warehouse each month, but found pharmacy4less to be cheaper, it seems to vary, depending on the medication and if you want generic or original, I'd ring a few discount chemists and ask the price of your drugs

  • http://www.pharmacy4less.com.au is not a trustworthy company, their web page has:
    “We beat any price" and "Free Shipping" displayed at the top, but when we find a better price and asked them to beat it, they will not reply. Also most orders are not free shipping, the "Free Shipping" on the top of the page is cheating.
