7 July 2018 - Basic Care drugs are cheaper than CVS, Walgreens store brands.
As pharmacy chains await Amazon.com's entry into the prescription-drug market, the online retail giant is already undercutting them for non-prescription medicine for aches, colds and allergies.
Median prices for over-the-counter, private-brand medicine sold by Walgreens Boots Alliance and CVS Health were about 20% higher than Basic Care, the over-the-counter drug line sold exclusively by Amazon, according to a report Friday by Jefferies Group analysts.
