Drug companies have been accused of hiking prices amid a rise of Strep A cases - with some pharmacists revealing that they are being charged up to £19 for a single box of drugs which would cost a few pounds.
Pharmacies now say that they are losing thousands of pounds each week, after only being able to recoup a fraction of the fees of what drugs on the NHS truly cost. They are also reportedly revealing struggles stocking highly-sought after antibiotics, with parents being forced to go from pharmacy to pharmacy to find meds for their poorly kids.
In-turn the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating the price of antibiotics.
