Hi Ozbargainers,

I've had a few emails asking for pain relief in bulk, not allot of movement in the wholesale market in this segment at this time of year, but I have a carton of Trust ibuprofen I am happy to clear out to those who have asked. I understand if you scavenge around at Woolies you can find budget (non coated) ibuprofen for around 6-7c per tab, but for a few cents more you can get arguably a higher grade tab (coated) deal delivered for a few cents more without the scavenger hunt required.

EDIT:
I didn't think this deal would take off like a rocket - More demand than supply which I was not expecting:

Trust Brand Exhausted, So Ozbargain peeps don't miss out - I still have Pharmacy Action Ibuprofen in stock (same active ingredient, different supplier) - link updated to reflect Pharmacy Action brand, same price. https://www.tga.gov.au/resources/artg/222147 (Pharmacy Action)

Item: Trust Pharmacy Action Ibuprofen 200mg (192x Tablets - Film Coated)
Price: $13.99
Exp: 01/2025
Link: https://pharmacysavings.com.au/products/trust-ibuprofen-200m…

As always older deals where I have stock (or I can still get stock at the originally negotiated Ozbargain deal prices have been restocked)

30x Loratadine 10mg (Exp: End August 2024) + 30x Cetirizine 10mg (Exp: End February 2024)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/828751

100x Fexofenadine / 100x Cetirizine / 100x Loratadine /140 Dose Mometasone (Nasal Spray) / Bonus item (from drop down menu) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/827571

70x Lorazol (Loratadine 10mg) + 30x Cetrine (Cetirizine 10mg)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/826978

For those looking for Loratadine on its own, I have restocked this older deal:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/812347

For those looking for Cetirizine on its own, there are still many lines from this deal still running:

          65 year old kidneys don't handle it as well as younger kidneys.

          Ibuprofen is also associated with kidney and liver damage.

        Aside from the above warning on the back of every pack,

        Stomach ulcers.

        It's also associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuprofen

        I realize it's not what people want to hear if they're trying to manage pain, but no one ever reads the fine print.

          It's also associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

          That depends on the dosage. Even paracetamol can be lethal at higher dosage. But usually avoid taking any OTC for mild pain unless necessary and appropriate.

      You are confused.

      Paracetamol, is primarily metabolized by the liver.
      Ibuprofen is not.

      • RecklessMonkeys on 03/02/2024 - 09:44

        They are both metabolized in the liver, but Ibuprofen is more associated with kidney damage, while Paracetamol is more associated with liver damage.

      • JinXR on 04/02/2024 - 18:28

        Every drug is metabolised by the liver… LOL Cytochrome P450.

        It's just that Paracetamol is more toxic to the hepatocytes (liver cells).

        Ibuprofen is worse for people that are elderly, kidney disease or have heart issues/failure.

    • Pineapples on 03/02/2024 - 00:30

      This is a fair point. And it does say that on the box.

      IMO (for whatever it's worth) ibuprofen should be an S3 medication that requires consultation with a pharmacist. It interacts with quite a few commonly used medications. It can do alot more harm than other medications kept behind the counter.

    N.B. Kirkland Ibuprofen is slightly cheaper on eBay from people who import it from USA to resell. However 192× is probably a more realistic quantity to consume in a reasonable period of time than 500×.

    Fake edit: Coles is cheaper, $1.55 for 24×, the equivalent of $12.40 for 192× (plus you earn flybuys.)

      These guys is actually mostly just one guy, if you received a dispatch confirmation email, that's when your item shipped and I do blame Australia Post if you haven't received your item yet. If you didn't receive a dispatch confirmation you may have provided an address type not compatible with the postage method selected and we should have reached out letting you know this. Any lost items are replaced, but counting back the days, if your item has been in the postal system for around 13 working days - it is later than typical, but probably not late enough to get too worked up. If the item doesn't arrive next week please yell out via PM.

          I'm not looking to pick a fight - more looking to assist clients in understanding one of the reasons we are cheaper than many all others. Tracking (satchel) and express post is available at a cost but many items we sell default to free untracked envelope freight at checkout (ie you selected untracked postage at checkout), this means your item is flat packed into an envelope and ships as an envelope item with no tracking. This actually causes me allot of extra work - or in the example of this deal, cost - as I have to pay a Pharmacist in our store circa $75an hour to pack these deals with me today between other clients, but it saves you (the client) as the savings are passed straight through. Its not an excuse, more a fact that a $14 item which includes delivery, simply can't exist if the postage component (satchel) is between $8.5X and $10.5Xish to send depending on postal code. Various postage options are available but based on my ebay feedback rating/comments 1:250ish clients don't want to understand how the savings (for them) are largely achieved. ie/ They chose the cheapest slowest delivery, then complain in feedback about lack of tracking, slow delivery etc.

          Ozbargain is a wonderful community for buyers (I am one as well) and sellers, but its very hard for us (as a community) to entice and keep reps, THERE SHOULD BE MORE REPS, every product on every shelf in every store has a rep, we need them on here - <<REPS PLEASE POST>> - Rep posts is what will bring the deals in huge available quantities to our community - but many/most/nearly all reps eventually get burned by literal angry hatred in emails, calls, PM's etc just being thrown at them, in many instances for matters sometimes outside of their control.
          I know sometimes this sounds a bit like a rant mixed with a sob story, but if we can achieve a higher rate of rep posts on the site, I think as buyers we're going to be far, far better off,

      ah, no. But she should take as per instructions, and not exceed the doses mentioned on the pack, and I would also suggest she either takes it with milk or after food. If she starts getting stomach pain after taking them, then discontinue using them, as it is irritating the lining of the stomach.

      • Fatboy74 on 03/02/2024 - 07:27

        • souths123 on 03/02/2024 - 08:01

          might not be a doctor, but I know what I am talking about. I can never take it again. If I even have one, or even a product with it in it, like throat lozenges or sprays, I get a bad pain in the stomach within the hour. My stomach can't even tolerate that any more. Not that I took so many, but because of other issues with my stomach over the years, now I can't take this. So, I am now stuck with paracetamol for any sort of pain.
          She can take them, no probs, but just ensure she protects her stomach.

          • Fatboy74 on 03/02/2024 - 08:29

    I have bought Coles for years, always has been coated and currently only $0.06 per each.

    Picked up in store or with a home delivery, your price $0.07 per ea does not match in same for same price.

    I live on these and the bulk order showed promise until I did the math.

    Curious to understand….what I am I missing?

    • Associatedjason101 @ PharmacySavings on 07/02/2024 - 16:37

      I am aware ibuprofen is available at Colesworth for around $0.06 per tablet. Often this is un-coated (not in your experience) and stock may be scarce (ie/ not available, have to hunt around, and usually when you need the product, its not there and peeps end up buying the originator brand at 10x the price) - This post was/is for the item delivered.

      Many Ozb clients are happy (happyish) to pay $0.01 (one cent) more per tablet to have the item delivered to their door - some Ozb clients would rather save a few cents, hunt around and collect the product themselves, clearly I can't argue with this, people value their time differently.

      It's a bit of a funny one as by volume ibuprofen (online) is one of our best sellers, which tells me there are plenty of peeps happy to pay the few cents more to have the item delivered.
