Tetra77 Neutral Newbie August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 Hey bro.. do you have a particular shop to buy your medications ? Thanks =) I bought them from Kulai, Johor. It's called AM/PM Pharmacy. They have a 2 branches in Kulai. Not sure about other areas though ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 I buy glucosamine regularly and the best deals in terms of active ingredients concentration compare to price can be found at iherb.com They have a large variety of supplements at a cheaper price and very reliable shipping. Once my package was lost and was untrackable. They immediately refunded me when the package was posted back to them. Kudos to their customer service. First time purchase using coupon code KEB313 entitles you to a USD$10 off. If you purchase more than USD$60, there's a 5% discount and free shipping to Singapore through Singpost registered mail. Under USD$60, the shipping is only USD$4. Buy the way, buying medications in Malaysia is indeed cheaper and without the need for pesky prescriptions.. Getting my regular diabetic and high blood pressure medication in Malaysia really saves me a substaintable amount over time. Ya I also get my Highblood n diabetes madicine there. Abt half the price compared to the polyclinic n the medicine is exactly the same. I showed the polyclinic doctor n he said its OK. I also got my vitamins n suppliments from JB. Much cheaper than SG. Funny how our "subsidized" medicine can b more expensive than those sold at normal prices in JB? Last time I bought from Kota Bahru was even cheaper.

By the way, drug companies do sell medicine in developed countries at higher price than developing and 3rd world countries. Singapore considered developed country liao, thanks to our inflated GDP.

Then I feel sorry fr all those poor pple who go polyclinic n pay premium prices especially those who dun hv the opportunity to go JB to buy medicine. Ty pay more than what the rich r paying in JB. SG really is a very expensive place to survive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic August 17, 2013 Share August 17, 2013 Funny how our "subsidized" medicine can b more expensive than those sold at normal prices in JB? The price here is controlled to be artificially high. Then "subsidize" downwards. Not unless you're subsidizing 90%, it won't be cheaper than JB with its free competition. And then you need prescription "for your safety", so doctors, pharmacies, hospitals...all get a big cut and profit in medicine price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
