Drug Tariff
The Drug Tariff, also known as Drug Tariff price, is that amount that the NHS repays pharmacies for generic prescription medications.[1] It differs from prescription charges which are £9.65 per item/drug as of April 2023 unless exemptions apply.[2]
They are published monthly and used as a reference in England and Wales by pharmacists or doctors dispensing in primary care.[3] It covers such issues, as the costs of prescription payments for patients, costs of appliances and blacklisted medicines.
