Tesco takes on the pharmacists
The supermarket giant Tesco is set to undercut considerably the prices charged by high street pharmacists and pharmacy multiples for prescription drugs to private patients.
Tesco has just opened pharmacies in its Naas, Co Kildare and Balbriggan Co. Dublin branches and is due to open further in-store pharmacies over the next year.
The chain is charging a much lower retail mark-up on prescription drugs than most other pharmacies. It will charge a mark-up of 20% and a dispensing fee of €3.50 per item.
