Many popular products, including painkillers, cough medicines, indigestion tablets and nutritional supplements are being halved in price from last night, with reductions of between 20 and 40 per cent on many others. The Office of Fair Trading called it excellent news for consumers but the body representing small pharmacies said that many would close, threatening community services. The big supermarkets trumpeted ‘millions of pounds-worth of savings’ as they competed to offer the biggest reductions. At Asda, a packet of 16 regular Anadin will be 87p, instead of £1.75, and Nurofen tablets will cost £1.14 for 16, rather than £2.29.
