Frequently asked

  • Does Amazon Subscribe & Save make Panadol cheaper still?

    Yes. The Amazon AU price quoted on this comparison already includes the 10% Subscribe & Save discount applied to this product. You can cancel the subscription after the first delivery if you only want a one-off, though the per-unit price will revert to the non-S&S rate.

  • How is the cost per pill calculated?

    Pack price is divided by the pack's pill count (or ml / g where the category is measured by weight or volume), then any active Subscribe & Save discount is applied. Supermarket prices come from public Woolworths and Coles product feeds refreshed daily; Amazon prices come from the Amazon Product Advertising API. Source and fetch timestamp are shown on each product card above.
