PL Codes

Post by JBird »

If this has been mentioned previously I apologise. Search didnt bring anything up..

Was having a discussion today with someone who claimed that <Insert expensive brand> tablets are better than cheap brand.

After pointing out that the PL code on the back of the packet meant that the products are identical, this changed his shopping habits!

Its suprising how many tablets which are designed for "headache", "migraine", "period pain", are all exactly the same item, but with a different label!

Yes and little things such as the "extra" in various over the counter pain relief is caffeine, sooooo rather than pay the extra amount, just take a non branded paracetamol with a strong cuppa coffee!

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
