Hi,
Can anybody here point me in the direction of a website which gives details of manufacturing / costs to pharmacy of drugs and medicines?
Thanks

Re: Drug Cost
I'm not sure there is a comprehensive free one.
The best is MIMS but you have to subsribe to the paper version at £140 p.a. if you want access...

Re: Drug Cost
BNF (bnf.org) has pricing information. You have to register, but it is free. Here is an example:
Quote:
Diamorphine (Non-proprietary)
Tablets, diamorphine hydrochloride 10 mg, net price 100-tab pack = £16.42.
Injection, powder for reconstitution, diamorphine hydrochloride, net price 5-mg amp = £2.57, 10-mg amp = £3.59, 30-mg amp = £3.82, 100-mg amp = £9.34, 500-mg amp = £42.07

Interesting. That article suggests that the cheapest drugs in the USA can be found in Costco. For example:
