Re: lip service to pharmacy prices...
Zovirax, although its great is over priced. The active ingredient is aciclovir and is also found in another cold sore cream that pharmacies sell (cant think of the name right now) and it is a third cheaper and just as good! Zovirax is popular as its the first name people think of when you get a cold sore but ask for the cheaper version the next time..just as good i swear!

FWIW, I find zovirax good, but there is usually half a tube left at the end of a cold sore. However it seems to go off and won't work as well if you have a new outbreak, so you have to throw it away. (I have tried keeping it, but it's useless)

Re: lip service to pharmacy prices...
I was in a similar location last year. Motilium is about 7-8 euros here for 10 tables. I got the same product labelled differently (Cilroton from the same manufacturer) for 2.10 euros except there were 30 tablets in the box. This is 1/10th of the cost per tablet. I know the cost of salaries and premises are much higher here but surely this differential is ridiculous. I also noticed other medical creams that were 4 euros for a 50g tube while in Ireland 20g was 7-8 euros.
