If you are on long term medication such as for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, gout etc, the medication you purchase there already save you a lot of money

How do those compared to prices of Polyclinics? Are they even cheaper in JB than Polyclinics?

Yah I went to the one you mentioned at PPC. Quite expensive - not an understatement. My ear seems to hear much better now after digging out a lot of gunk stuck there. But the lady said to return next week for another round.

Just go to holiday plaza cm beauty. Take a bus F100, same bus to KSL for RM$1.50 from the interchange after crossing the border and alight opposite Holiday Plaza .

It's only RM$96 for digging n washing šŸ‘šŸ»

Yes

Most medication are cheaper at JB pharmacy's retail price as compared to "subsidized" Polyclinic prices.

Not that there are no subsidy in Singapore, there are significant subsidy at Polyclinic in Singapore. But the problem is the cost structure, Singapore's cost structure is expensive which flows into the cost of the medication.

In addition, medication manufacturer price medication differently for different countries: For rich and developed countries like Singapore and USA, they price it higher since the population / insurance system can afford the higher price of medication. For poorer lower income countries, they price it lower, since if you price too high, their local not able to afford it and you not able to sell much of your medication anyway.
