Large price differences for the same drug between pharmacies in the same area can put consumers in difficult situations, especially when the products are identical. Medicine prices can vary according to the policy of each pharmacy and the applied commercial costs, but you probably did not think that the same medicine could cost almost 60% more in a pharmacy on the same street.
Today we show you an example, as for a common drug, Saridon, price difference can be more than 50% between two pharmacies located on the same street, Libertății street, in Apahida commune, Cluj county.
Saridon is a common pain reliever that reduces pain and reduces fever and mainly contains the well-known paracetamol. (active ingredients paracetamol 250 mg, propyphenazone 150 mg and caffeine 50 mg and excipients)
On Libertății street, in Apahida commune, Cluj, there are two pharmacies located at a very short distance (one at number 157 and the other at number 189) selling the same drug Saridon, at very reasonable prices different The medicine was bought on October 21, 2024, at an interval of 10 minutes, from the two pharmacies:
- In the first pharmacy, the box of 10 pills of Saridon costs 25,90 lei (Receipt given at 16:21).
- In the second pharmacy, the box of 10 pills of Saridon costs 16,50 lei (Receipt given at 16:31).
Therefore, the price difference was between the two pharmacies, which are located on the same street 9,40 lei(16.5 theme vs. 25.9 lei ie with 56.9% more for the same product.

Although drug prices may vary according to the commercial indications applied by the pharmacy, these differences raise questions and can have a significant impact on consumers, especially those which is dependent on daily medication.
