Is there a particular drug you want to buy? but you're not too sure how much it is at your area's chemist or pharmacy. This article covers the list of medicine and drug prices in Nigeria currently.
Although the list may not offer you precise pricing since medicine prices in Nigeria aren't controlled and are determined by drugstore and area, it will give you an approximation.
However, this information is gathered from a few big pharmacies operating at different locations in the country.
I also made the list in alphabetical order for ease of access, I hope this helps you address your issue.
