Hi Ozbargainers,

After running deals for a few years on eBay and via our website, I've been fortunate enough to have several thousand repeat clients. Often our clients have a repetitive need for a certain specific medication, inevitably peeps reach out asking for bulk deals on X or Y.

As I've learned by posting a couple of these very specific deals before, sometimes there just isn't enough interest in X or Y (even if the price is AMAZING) so tonight I've assembled quite a few bulk deals by working with a few of our best suppliers with a view to offering these bulk products on an ongoing basis. Now as many of my Ozb followers would know, this means I have to commit to thousands of boxes of each product - so before I list on the marketplaces like eBay and pedal at a thousand miles an hour to sell down the stock before the bank comes looking for me, I thought I'd kick of the sales of these bulk deals for a 1c under $50 each including satchel shipping for Ozbargainers.

Now I know buying hundreds of tabs isn't for everyone, but for those with a genuine need, buying from our family business in bulk has saved many other families thousands of dollars over the years.

I've assembled the most commonly purchased bulk products, if I've missed anything you'd like in bulk please PM me and if I get a few requests for the same item in bulk, I'll speak with our suppliers and do my best to assemble something and post it at a later date.

      Doesn't matter. Most of the benefit is placebo.

      • spaceflight on 07/04/2024 - 22:27

        It must be an incredible placebo when you can be deficient but still have your vitamin d levels increase just from a placebo!

        • bargaino on 07/04/2024 - 22:33
          +3

          Not at all. A rise in serum level is by itself no evidence of benefit. The placebo effect is not confined to sugar pills.

          Why Is Vitamin D Hype So Impervious to Evidence?

          There are hundreds of vitamin D RCTs. The results simplify into one sentence: Vitamin D supplements do not improve health outcomes.

          p.s. I used to take them too.

            @bargaino: That article is a cardiologist referring for its use as primary prevention in cardiac/oncological mortality.
            Its standard therapy for osteoporosis and deficiency.
            Are you suggesting the benefit in these areas are also placebo?

          • bangiebargie on 08/04/2024 - 08:18

            @bargaino: 'm not entirely convinced of the benefits of supplementing vitamin D for depression or for preventing cardiovascular disease from the studies I've seen, so I wouldn't disagree with Mandrola on that point at least. However, I know that Mandrola is a self-aware iconoclast and "medical conservative" who writes inflammatory pieces like this to get a rise out of people and bump his twitter followers. I am not discounting his arguments ad hominem, but I do read that article in context.

            But other benefits of supplementing with vitamin D — especially for those who are otherwise deficient — have been demonstrated in study after study. Chiefly, improving bone health, but also preventing viral and bacterial infections and improving autoimmune conditions. I'm happy to provide links, but a quick medscape search will pull up at least dozens, if not more.

            As with all supplements, the "overall health" benefits are almost never reflected in RCTs where the outcomes are usually event-related (eg mortality, significant cardiovascular event, etc). That doesn't mean an individual who has low vitamin D levels would not benefit from supplementing with vitamin D; and for people who are living with depression or an autoimmune condition, it's a low-cost supplement that could improve their symptoms, with no/low risk of any side effects.

              As with all supplements, the "overall health" benefits are almost never reflected in RCTs

              This is the part that bothers me. Thanks for the detailed response!

              That doesn't mean an individual who has low vitamin D levels would not benefit from supplementing with vitamin D

              In theory, but my understanding is that the evidence is still lacking?

              and for people who are living with

              Yes, I realise that people with specific symptoms are a separate matter. Symptoms always change what is best advice. Was referring to the routine taking of supplements for low blood levels.

          • Unotifoso on 08/04/2024 - 11:58

            @bargaino: I suggest, given there is over 1000 trials currently underway due to land in the next decade, we should all be ready to update our stance with the latest understanding as it changes. Don't be too bold in your pre-existing understanding.

          Sunscreen is a placebo, change my mind.

          • bargaino on 07/04/2024 - 22:39

            @Castcore: At this time of year, when the sun is low, you may be right :-)

          • Assburg on 08/04/2024 - 07:17

            @Castcore: Unless it blocks UVA (higher energy, causes burns) and UVB (lower energy, penetrates deeper into your skin and causes cell mutations) it may be worse than a placebo.

            In essence… increased UVA protection allows you to spend all day in the sun (which the natural burning process should prevent), but if you don't have a broad spectrum sunscreen you'll end up being a full day of UVB exposure… add it up over a childhood of summers and it's fairly alarming.

            • Castcore on 08/04/2024 - 08:01

              @Assburg: Yeah I mean always get UVA+UVB blocking. Don't even know how common just one is these days.

              I thought everyone would realise I was being sarcastic in retort to the vitamin d comment. Guess not.

                Just thought it was a good opportunity to raise my favourite scientific anecdote which does a good job of explaining away our national "high" rates of skin cancer! It's all a hangover from non-placebo sunscreen.

    • UncleRico on 07/04/2024 - 20:48

      The best option would be the 288 x Cold & Flu & Cough Capsules - Pharmacy Action one, available from the main link, Watered Horse…

      • Ham Dragon on 08/04/2024 - 21:41

        So, none then. URT infections are best treated with rest, hydration and analgesics, including for cough (codeine). I think it's a bit dodgy for pharma resellers to market remedies for viral infections ("cold and flu") when in fact they are at best mildly effective at addressing symptoms.

        • UncleRico on 08/04/2024 - 22:03

          Oh, sorry. I didn’t realise you were trying to take a swipe at “pharma resellers” who presumably package, label and market all the medications they resell.

          Me, I’m just happy to find a cheap medication that effectively takes the edge off those winter colds - and yes, we all know Pseudoephedrine is even more effective if you can be arsed going through the LYC checks at a pharmacy in person to access it.

          Move along…

          • Ham Dragon on 09/04/2024 - 08:46

            @UncleRico: A fool and their money…

            69c for 100x paracetemol tablets and a teaspoon of concrete is far more effective than what is on offer here.

      This one:
      https://pharmacysavings.com.au/collections/bulk-deals-as-req…

      However Phenylephrine has been involved in a lot of studies where it has shown to have no clinical benefit to the treatment of cold and flu symptoms when admitted orally. I highly recommend you do some research on the effectiveness of it as a treatment and then make your own informed purchasing decision.

      An alternative is Cold and Flu tablets that contain Pseudoephedrine, such as Codral Original Formula. When you purchase medicines with that active ingredient your licence details will be taken down to ensure you aren't buying large quantities as it can be used as an ingredient in producing illicit drugs.

      • LowRange on 08/04/2024 - 01:33

        Yes IMHO Phenylephrine is a total scam, i dont know how they can even sell it.

      I'm trying to get a better deal, but this is a really high priced item (relative terms) with a really low margin, even at this price depending on a client/buyers postal code we sometimes actually lose money on the sale.. which clearly isn't an ideal way to operate.

    Jason 101 – you or someone else in your pharmacy is a professional pharmacist bound by professional duty and federal and state law to encourage the safe and effective use of medicines.

    Selling serious medicines like Ibuprofen in bulk does nothing to encourage consumers to apply caution to the use of such medicines.

    Wouldn’t your pharmacy in Craigmore North SA think twice if someone came in and wanted to buy 792 200mg Ibuprofen tablets? Wouldn’t you want to talk to the person about side effects and the implications of heavy long term use? People in that position really need to get expert advice about their underlying condition and the treatment alternatives. They need to know for example that if they have reflux, are pregnant or are over 65, the risks are higher. Community pharmacists are in a very good position to start that conversation at least. That is their role. You can hardly claim to be performing your professional duty just by posting a Wikipedia link beside your bulk advert on Ozbargain.

    (Yes, you can currently buy Ibuprofen 200mg at Woolworths but only at 24 per pack (rather than your 96) – to get the 792 tablets that you are selling in one go, a Woolworths customer would have to walk out with 32 packs. Arguably given Ibuprofen’s risks there should be more restrictions than at present, just as is happening with Paracetamol).

      If you had your way I'd need to hand over my licence to buy a slab of water; because as you know too much water intake can kill someone!!!!!!!

      Maybe at some point we trust consumers to make sensible health decisions? I think most people know it's not normal to swallow 700 ibuprofen tablets at once. We don't need more of a nanny state.

      • UncleRico on 08/04/2024 - 17:14

        Seconded.

        It’s bad enough we can’t get our hands on decent flu medication lest we all turned to cooking meth in our basements…

  • Ponsonby on 08/04/2024 - 12:04

    Returning to a sensible discussion - risk assessment is at the core of decisions about medicine safety and the associated restrictions, such as prescription only or pharmacy sale only. Decisions aim to balance the risks of particular medicines with the benefits of easy access. (Sometimes different countries make different decisions - for example, the UK limits the number of packs of analgesics you can buy in one transaction.) The decisions in Australia prevent some over the counter medicines being sold in supermarkets and for less restricted medicines like ibuprofen, allow pharmacies to sell larger pack sizes. This is due to the implicit belief that a pharmacy environment is more conducive than a supermarket to good buying decisions, given the presence of professional pharmacists - not perfect in practice, but that is the logic.
