@Casualobserver,

Thanks a lot for the functional info on the generic alternatives... I'll check it out with the NL search function. I went through the OPs past NL posts and discovered that he's still into posted politically and ethnically bigoted threads, and hate speeches even as recent as yesterday. He's one of those who create threads to stir up hatred and the emotions of ill-informed people here on NL instead of providing functional information. I made a useful contribution here only for him to quote me and went off tangent due to his lack of comprehension.

I have him on my radar and the Super mods will move in to ban him and his fellow ethnic bigots on this thread if they don't stop stirring hate.

We want the best for folks back in Nigeria and this is why we make useful contributions here and not propaganda fueled by dishonesty and bigotry.

All the best.

pray you don't get sick or any of your loved ones don't get sick.

This is beyond petty politics and tribalism. The politicians (APC, PDP, LP) will fly abroad for ordinary ear infection but can the ordinary people in Nigeria do same?

Apart from drugs being expensive, there are job losses as a result of the exit of this company.

So please shut up

plaindealer:



Sickness doesn't reduce or raise the price of drugs, it's life's reality, global inflation and demand and supply.

Stop being sentimental and deal with realities.

This is just trying to be clever by half. The companies manufacturing these drugs have left the shores of Nigeria, as such these drugs are meant to be imported. With the scarcity of fx right now, there's no way the price would be cheap

It's not just about GlaxoSmithKline leaving Nigeria as a result of global cost-cutting measures. From well-known facts on the ground, the very high spike in the cost of those pharmaceutical products majorly has to do with the massive greed and the criminal act of hoarding the old stock of these pharmaceutical drugs by the dealers and retailers. These are the criminals who would blame the politicians but they themselves are an epitome of massive greed and corruption.

The government too has to put in place price control mechanisms so that these creeps do not continue to exploit the innocent folks who need the medications. Price control is needed in not just the pharmaceutical sector, the food chain sector, but every other sector. Yes, price increments are a norm worldwide but price control is what keeps them from being too high. Offenders have to be punished subsequently for going above a specific price ceiling.

IamAtikulate:
1. Seretide, N5000 to N70,000
2. Ampiclox, from N1000 to N13,000
3. Ventolin inhaler, N2800 to N8000
4. Augmentin 625mg, N4500 to N25,000

All are GlaxoSmithKline GSK Products.

Sanofi (the makers of Tavanic 500mg & influenza vaccines ) are also planning to leave Nigeria. WHO IS NEXT IN LINE?

Nigeria moved from one relic to another. Bad misfortune; from frying pan to fire.

Nigerians are yet to fully appreciate the implications of GlaxoSmithKline GSK exiting Nigeria. When I say this, I don’t mean no Agbado (they can’t afford it). I speak of those hardworking Nigerians whose incomes & livelihoods have diminished.

You don’t have to buy Uk drugs if you can not afford them, instead of argumenting buy Fleming
There is always a cheaper alternative and most times those alternatives are even more effective
Why would you buy argument 25,000 when Fleming is 3500and infact more effective

maasoap:

You meant someone would buy a drug at 18k and resell at 25k and we're still blaming Tinubu or Buhari?

plaindealer:
Drug prices increased above the inflation rate all over the world, but you don't think it should be increased in Nigeria.

Do you people really think Nigeria is above or immune to global inflation and price increases?

I bet you want the government to subsidize that too,,

Jokers,,

YoungBlackRico:
And which sensible person will trust a drug produced by you lots? Jokers


Also, I think it's just plain stupid to always assume na only una dey run things or na only una sabi do things for this country. Just because others don't go about beating chest don't mean they don't have things going for themselves.

Zonefree:

Most of the big pharmaceutical companies have left Nigeria, the reason the drugs are expensive. Don't try to be smart by half!

phineas:
In summary gsk moved production to another country try cos production costs were high

They could have increased their sales cost by 100% but they chose the cowards way out ,let the importers increase their goods to x10 the former price,they don't care cos Nigerians will buy anyway

The trick is to understand how gsk appears to think,they know Nigerians will buy regardless of the price,so they export to us instead of adjusting sales cost

I think the country should quickly fund or mass import good alternatives and ban all gsk products in Nigeria,

Their sales from Nigeria is more than a lot of countries combined

everything you are complaining about is caused by your brother Godwin Emefiele former CBN Governor. While you guys were busy cheering him up. Now you want to hypocritical blame us for what you did.

Liar, who prescribed 2 different antibiotics to take at the same time?

Just say Nigeria is finished and stop lying with the rest of your rubbish..

IamAtikulate:

Many of the drugs you are using are produced by Igbos.

Emzor products

Sudrex

Procold

Vasoprin

Are just a few of them MANUFACTURED by Igbos.

Igbos are also heavily into packaging and marketing of Indian-manufactured drugs.

Without Igbos, agbo for don kill you since.

Where is the Augmentin in your picture?

What kind of sickness demands 2 different antibiotics?

Obviously, you lied.

Show us the receipt for 2 different antibiotics.
