Good Price Pharmacy - truth in advertising

Our boys needed antibiotics to help recover from the flu. I resent the high cost of medications and was surprised when I had two scripts filled at pharmacy which claims to be a Good Price Warehouse : - $6.80 and $6.50 for amoxcyllin and amohexal.

Dopey me did not get a repeat filled at the time! Accepting there would a slight difference I went to Mr Fergusson's pharmacy at Mt Gravatt Central.

Unbelievable, same product ... but MORE than double the price!! $14.80 and $12.80 for the same medications.

Families deserve a fair go from the large drug companies with reasonable prices.

They are making a fortune during cold and flu season. Pharmacies provide good services and helpful advice but using a warehouse with good prices is even less painful.

Mr Ferguson appears to be a strong supporter of the local community and regular sponsor of positive initiatives and staying open till 9pm every night is a valuable community service and wages would be expensive.
