I bought some Nurofen the other day. I only bought it because it had been advertised and I recognised the name. It was about £1.50 or so. I told my sister (medical student) and she rolled her eyes and said "You know it's exactly the same as cheap own-brand ibuprofen, except with a sugar coating and an N on it, don't you?".

So the next time I go in I'll just buy some 30p Boots own-brand ibuprofen!
they are about 25p in superdrug.. but pay the extra and get the long lasting ones .. they are actually better and do last out.
