  • can you do a deal for the naproxen only without the ibuprofen

  • +8

    Very hard to dismantle the deals as supplier offers to me are buy X for Y and then get Z for A, very complex pricing metrics in pharmacy.

  • Can you please confirm those expiry dates for the period pain pills? Thanks

    Why don’t you do scripts for most things? I’m sure the ozbargain crowd would get behind you now that healthylife is a Woolworths brand

      To avoid my deal being negged what should I do differently?
      Not use the name of the product?

      Reminds me a little of ebay feedback I receive often: "Australia Post was really slow to deliver", (so I gave the seller a neg)

          I’m a big fan of this seller. Prices are so much cheaper than bricks and mortar stores. Is also super responsive - even to pedants…

      This is a drug specifically used for this type of pain. Nurofen got in trouble because they labelled the same drug for different types of pain and charged more.

        Naproxen can be used more or less interchangeably for many types of pain. Not that I would personally. NSAIDs worry me.

      • -2

        Not true. This is not a drug for a specific type of pain as anyone marketing pain drugs should know.

          Is Pharmacy Action charging more for Naproxen in this product than they charge for Naproxen in another product for another type of pain?

            @thestig: Irrelevant- you cannot make claim of specific action for a product when that claim is patently false. Especially when it comes to a pharmaceutical product. Federal Court decision was not price related - although the extent of damages awarded was. From the judgement:

            “The ACCC took these proceedings because it was concerned that consumers may have purchased these products in the belief that they specifically treated a certain type of pain, based on the representations on the packaging, when this was not the case,”

            Anyway have reported this and mods can deal with the consequences. The lack of ethics of the retailer of a pharmaceutical product is very disappointing here. They surely know this product could not be sold in that packaging a commercial pharmacy subsequent to the Federal Court ruling- which I suggest is why they are attempting to sell it at a discount here.

                @jackary: I guess FitzChivalry Farseer finally realised they're completely wrong and deactivated their account rather than admit to it. Pretty typical weasel behaviour of someone who writes like they do.

            • @[Deactivated]: Read MorriJ's comment below. You're barking up the wrong tree. What is said on the box isn't false, it treats what they say it treats and they're not marketing the same product as treating something else, even though it may do.

              The lack of ethics of the retailer of a pharmaceutical product is very disappointing here.
              I'm not sure why this small retailer is the target of your disappointment. Do a google search for "period pain relief" and whatever ethical retailer of pharmaceutical products that satisfies you and chances are they will have a product marketed exactly the same; Chemist Warehouse (Wagner), TerriWhite (their own brand), Amcal (their own brand), even Naprogesic sold at any pharmacy says "Relieves period pain" on the front of the box.

      • If I recall, it was the fact they specifically said it was "targetted". Calling it period pain vs muscle pain wasn't the issue.

      Totally agree with you, these are purely NSAID pain killer like Ibuprofen but only in Australia they are marketed as medicine for period pain and charge ridiculous price.

      Look at Naprogesic price at CWH, $16 for 24-pack and $10 for 12-pack.

      In US, these are not marketed as dodgy as in Australia and I got 400 capsules bottle for ~$14USD ($13USD +tax) in Costco.
      Naproxen Sodium 400pack - Costco US

      This is beyond ridiculous the way that these company still ripping us off significantly in Australia.

      If Nurofen got hefty fine how did Naprogesic get away with this being marketed as for period pain?

        If Nurofen got hefty fine how did Naprogesic get away with this being marketed as for period pain?

        Nerofen had 4 specific products that action was taken over:
        (1) Nurofen Migraine Pain ibuprofen lysine 342mg tablet blister pack;
        (2) Nurofen Tension Headache ibuprofen lysine 342mg tablet blister pack;
        (3) Nurofen Period Pain ibuprofen lysine 342mg tablet blister pack; and
        (4) Nurofen Back Pain ibuprofen lysine 342mg tablet blister pack.

        All were identical products, from the same manufacturer.

        The ACCC conducted price sampling before instituting proceedings against Reckitt Benckiser, and found that the Specific Pain products were almost twice as expensive as Nurofen’s general pain products and comparable products of competitors.
        Src: https://legalvision.com.au/consumer-law-update-federal-court…

        If Naprogresic sold NaproDental with Naproxen Sodium in the same quantity (and making double the profit on them like Neurofen was) they would be likely to be facing similar actions on the federal court. Neither Naprogesic nor the brand in OP deal is doing any such thing.

        They simply market their tables (Naproxen Sodium) as treating period pain / menstrual cramping. Manufacturers aren't obligated to market products for "all potential treatments", rather they are not allowed to market the same product which treats multiple conditions as singular items.

      Perhaps you ought to be complaining to the manufacturer and not the seller. You claim the post is misleading yet by the time I wrote this reply there is zero mention in the description of the product being intended for a specific type of pain, except for the wording of the product name. Your ire is misdirected, methinks.

    Naproxen can be taken to relieve extreme gout pain on big toe. It’s just a pain killer. Not for a specific pain.

    • It’s good for lower back pain.

  • -3

    OxyContin works a treat for back pain, as does Valium, if it’s a spasm type of back pain.

      That's good to know. Please let me know where I can get that over the counter or shipped to me legally without a prescription.

    • If you're looking for advice on the product, please see your GP and not the r/endometriosis thread of reddit

      • I'm only sharing it as a springboard for further research.

        Reddit is obviously not the holy gospel.
