    FYI, for months, including last week, I have been buying an over the counter chest congestion pack of 5 capsules at Mercury Drugs in town for 198p. Today they were out of stock so we went down the road to Rose Pharmacy. Bought same product there and had to pay 252.75p. Buyer beware.

    you might try Generika they have lots of products at very good prices. I have a generika card and get rewards points for every purchase that can be used to purchase other products from them. My youngest child had pneumonia and was prescribed an antibiotic that was 750P at rose but only 250 at generika. I have been buying all my blood pressure and diabetic meds from them for years. Once a year I trade my rewards points for a free months supply of meds

    There is a generika located across the side street from the New McDonalds. The have a "membership card" available as mentioned in earlier posts. I am not sure if that is the one you listed in your post. There are two located in town. The other one is around the corner from the main Mercury Drug downtown by the public markets The Generika is in the Am-vet section of stores.

    I always got what I could get at Generika or The Generics Pharmacy, Rose Drug and Mercury were usually last ditch effort, and when going to those places, always request generic when available.
