Thanks

I'm not sure there is a comprehensive free one.

The best is MIMS but you have to subsribe to the paper version at £140 p.a. if you want access...

BNF (bnf.org) has pricing information. You have to register, but it is free. Here is an example:

Quote:

Diamorphine (Non-proprietary)

Tablets, diamorphine hydrochloride 10 mg, net price 100-tab pack = £16.42.

Injection, powder for reconstitution, diamorphine hydrochloride, net price 5-mg amp = £2.57, 10-mg amp = £3.59, 30-mg amp = £3.82, 100-mg amp = £9.34, 500-mg amp = £42.07

not sure of the accuracy or if that site i linked to is upto date but the markups from production to sales costs in the USA are horrendous and one can only assume they will similar in this country

Interesting. That article suggests that the cheapest drugs in the USA can be found in Costco. For example:
