I knew they were expensive but £127 for a month's malarone makes you think! Well, not about taking them - it strikes me they are non-optional - but about where the money goes - drug companies' research? are they complicated to produce? and what about the retailer's cut? But you cannot see many sales in Africa at that price - and I am going for only 4 weeks which means the others will have twice as much to pay! For what it's worth: the Coop quoted just over £3 a tablet, Sainsbury's £2.50 and told me Tesco were majoring on them so supply was slow (or were they just trying to get me to place an order?) I'll have to try Tesco next - but I do not see it as a big loss leader somehow.
For what it is worth, the best price I have found so far is £2.24 on-line (and on what appears a legitimate site - it had pictures and things, was spelled correctly and didn't offer improved perfomance of any kind.)
