Changing weather

Summer is just around the corner. As the climate changes this is the time when most of us are prone to sickness and other unprecedented infections.

This includes change in skin tone. I happened to visit some of the pharmacies out here to purchase a few branded cosmetics taking into consideration that I am someone who is very skin and health-conscious.

Passably aghast to cite that the cost of a cream mounts up to Dhs100 and above. At times you are tempted to go for an offer where you can buy two and get 1 free or buy 1 and get two free.  However, something that alarms me is the cost of paying a huge amount for a small item.

It’s time for pharmaceutical manufacturers to reconsider the impact their pricing models have on the lives of those depending on their medication — especially senior citizens who have no choice but to purchase their products.
