Money Mensch: Cut the cost of high-end medicines

Is THIS the zenith of my JC writing? Could anything be more stereotypically perfect for a Jewish audience than money-saving on high-end medicals?

If you use private prescriptions either because you have a private GP or you need drugs the NHS doesn't deem necessary, such as Viagra, baldness cures, some IVF treatments, anti-malaria drugs or even cancer treatments, you may be able to seriously cut costs.

Unlike NHS prescriptions, the key here is that the cost isn't fixed so different pharmacies can charge you varying amounts for the same medicine.

Pharmacies linked to private GPs can commonly pump prices up on the back of this, but it doesn't stop there: four Viagra 50MG tablets cost £26 in Boots but only £21 at online chemist Pharmacy2u.
