The vast majority of pharmacies across the country are acting responsibly & professionally and doing their utmost for patients & customers.
Isolated incidents of unjustifiable price rises mustn’t be allowed to obscure the fact that pharmacists up & down the land are providing an heroic service on the health service frontline.
Wholesale prices fluctuate on a wide range of medicines and other supplies, and sometimes pharmacies have no option other than to pass the cost onto customers.
It’s important that no-one in the supply chain, including pharmacies, breaches good faith with their customers by introducing unjustifiable mark-ups.

We’d like to thank all our members for their feedback regarding price fluctuations on medicines and products during this difficult time. You may be interested to read the guidance from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
