These Go Local medicines are a series of products making their way to Parfetts locations in the UK to offer shoppers a cost-conscious option for their lifestyle. The products include ibuprofen and paracetamol in 200mg and 500mg tablets, respectively, which are each packed into 16 tablet packs priced at £1. The products are arriving now to maximize availability ahead of the peak wintertime medicine season and are expected to be well-received amongst shoppers seeking out a cost-effective alternative to name brand options.
Trading Director Cheryl Hope spoke on the Go Local medicines saying, "Own label is a key factor in increasing basket spend, and with products like our new paracetamol, we’re giving retailers the tools to boost margins and offer real value to their shoppers. This is just the beginning of our drive to expand the Go Local medicines category, ensuring retailers have a compelling own-label offer to rival the brands and meet shopper demand."
