Bought a bottle of Vitamin B at NTUC Unity. After discount, I paid $37.50. Walked out, I found that the next door Guardian Pharmacy is selling the same thing at $35 after discount.

When you see a doc at the polyclinic and ask fot Vit B, it would be relatively cheap.
Same for panadol ... -

Not sure about other things, but I think generic paracetamol from Unity is probably the cheapest - 100 tablets for around $6 several months ago (can't remember well, but under $10 anyway).

They do sell the generic tablet type of Vitamin B and Panadol at unity. It’s packaged like you would buy at the clinic and v cheap.. I believe it’s about the same price as polyclinic. But maybe the bottled ones has more good stuff in it?

Yeah... but the doctor will charge you for the appointment, will he not?

Yes, but still cheaper than buying panadol, lozenges etc outside.

My point is : a cough syrup at a GP can costs as much as $12.50 but a cough syrup (ok, dont know if same brand but still cough syrup) at a polyclinic costs much much lower
Now visiting a polyclinic is not simply walk-in. One needs to make an appointment and the slots filled up quickly when they are open 10pm the night before.
Hence it is easier to die than to fall sick :stompfeet: -

Only for selected outpatient treatment, such as the management of chronic diseases, vaccinations, health screenings, or CT/MRI scans.
