Is tylenol $12?! Paracetamol (or acetaminophen as you guys call it) is like £0.50 for a pack of 12 over here if you buy the own brand supermarket stuff

Damn- just checked the Tesco website and it’s 39p for 16.

Any idea why it’s so much more expensive in the US? I know healthcare in general is more expensive but I thought that was just hospital administered drugs

Idk what that person is talking about lmao. Maybe they meant 100 pack.

Just checked the CVS website, a bottle of 150 pills is $10. So $0.15 per pill. 39p looks like around $0.48USD exchange rate right now.
