Sir, – I am on regular cardiac medication and was surprised this month to find that, in spite of the drop in the price of Atorvastatin, my monthly drugs came to the usual magic €144. (Above this the DPS kicks in.) So I put my medication “out to tender” and found some surprising results.
My usual supplier wanted €144 per month, the cheapest supplier wanted €112 per month, while cherry picking the lowest price for each drug came to €88 per month. I don't want to traipse around four different chemists so I'm settling on two suppliers at a total of €90 per month to save myself a whopping €658 per annum. Caveat emptor! – Is mise,
