Pharmacy profits

If your doctor writes you a prescription with a number of repeats on it you have two choices. You can get the medication on each separate occasion or you can buy it all on the one transaction.

If you buy it on separate occasions you pay a dispensing fee each time. If you buy in bulk you just pay one dispensing fee.

A dispensing fee can be approximately €7.00. So say your doctor prescribes for five 'doses' you save €28 by buying in bulk.

It seems one of the best kept secrets.
