SICK Brits have been issued a warning over a ‘superflu’ medicine rip-off that means you’ll pay double the price. For example, a 16-packet of Nurofen at Boots costs £2 but Boots Ibuprofen Tablets 200mg 16 Tablets cost 55p – £1.45 more expensive. Whereas Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension costs £2.65 at Boots, but Calpol Infant Sugar Free Colour Oral Suspension costs £3.50 – 85p more. Who can get free flu jabs? This means they must contain the same active ingredients and have to work in exactly the same way.
