How SEPs work in South Africa
Prices on this page are the Single Exit Price: the one legal price at which the manufacturer may sell the pack in South Africa, including VAT and a logistics fee. Pharmacies and dispensing doctors add a regulated dispensing fee plus VAT on top. For cheap medicines this fee is a large share of what you pay, and can be more than the medicine itself, so the counter price can be much higher than the SEP. Medical schemes may pay all or part of it.
