@couponkiduk: Stop falling for this SCAM at the supermarket/pharmacy 👀👇🏻 We all know that some products are made in the same factory… and some are even identical (despite massive price differences!) Well… there’s a way to check it when buying medication! Each medication has their own PL number. It’s a licence number given for a specific type of medicine made by a manufacturer. If two PL numbers are the same, the pill inside is the exact same. Medications are highly regulated, which is why those are there! But… you can use this to your advantage! As an example, the Sudafed Cold & Flu Day & Night tablets (which cost £5.99) have the PL number 12063/0073. BUT - if you look on the back of the Boots Cold & Flu Relief Day & Night tablets (£2.40) they ALSO have the PL number 12063/0073! 🤯 THERE’S MORE! The Poundland Galpharm Cold & Flu “Max Strength” Day & Night tablets (sold for £1!) - AGAIN share the Pl number 12063/0073 🤣 The only difference… the price. £5.99 for Sudafed, £2,40 for the Boots own brand & £1 for Poundland. If there are two medications that sound/look similar - do check that PL number! You might get the exact same pill for less! I post tips to save money every week - follow for more! 🙂👆🏻
Proof you’re paying for the brand and not the product itself 👌👌👌👌

There is a problem in the UK, and the problem is greed. I didn't just take your word for it, I looked into it and you're correct, good work, well done.

If it shares the same “active ingredient” - it’ll do the same job too. A 50p paracetamol will do the same job as a £4 brand. Follow for more tips to save money 🙂👆🏻

To make it a simple as possible, PL relates to the active ingredient which does pay a major role in the drug but the characteristics of the drug can differ majorly, another example is 2 companies selling a drug labelled “paracetamol” can have different PL numbers because the active ingredient is different, for the viewers just do a little more research buying drugs

Ok so 1 The PL number is one of worst kept secrets you dont even need it the listed ingredients give thst away. 2: Money Saving Experts launched a nationwide information campaign in 2016 across tv online etc highlighting this practice not just same products in different brands but the same products in with different prices in the SAME BRAND. Sudafed, Nurofen etc use the same thing in Migraine, Period Pain, Back Pain, Tension Headache etc all different prices. And then own brand Asda tesco boots etc Migraine, Period Pain, Back Pain, Tension Headache all the same. They have been fined and prosecuted BUT INLY IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺.. Why the UK Eu and USA are still allowing it the mind boggles

Is there an app or website that records these PL numbers and shows us alternative cheaper brands and where to buy them? I'm getting 22p paracetamol from B&M whilst other stores (even store brand) are 88p+ for the same 16 blisters, if not and someone makes this app lemme know I'll help contribute.

It’s like “period pain relief” tablets and it just contains ibuprofen. Yet it’s £3 more expensive 🤦♀️

easier just to look at the main ingredients. All cold and flu, is just parcetomol, +/-caffine and a decongestant usually phenylephrine.

Si the handy guy :
It's been the same for years with multiple products.
big brands make their own premium and then supermarket own products which cost less
cereals, bread, biscuits, soups, beans, soft drinks, coffee, tea etc all the same. the list goes on and on.
the manufacturer makes money either way and the supermarkets sell you it.
