Yahoo Taiwan (Breaking News) June 21, 2024, 2:32 a.m. Painkillers are going up! Manufacturers announced that starting from July this year, they will gradually adjust the suggested retail price of the painkiller 'Ponstan,' with an increase of about 5% to 6%. The Chairperson of the Basic Pharmacists Association, Shen Caiying, revealed that in May, there were rumors estimating a price increase of 10 to 15 yuan per box, suggesting that people who want to save money can choose other brands of paracetamol. The price hike is due to rising raw material costs and transportation expenses, and it does not affect the National Health Insurance drug prices. Starting from July to the end of the year, not only paracetamol medications will increase in price, and the next company to raise prices has yet to be identified.
