Former presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, says any doctor who insists on prescribing the popular antibiotic Augmentin to his patient despite the alarming rise in the price of the drug has a lot of explaining to do.

Tolu stated this when reacting to a post shared on X by a doctor who denounced the increase in the drug. The doctor shared a photo of Augmentin on his cable with the price tag N57,000 stamped on it. The doctor wrote

''This is just a basic antibiotic and it costs 57k!!!!!!!!

I can't afford this as a doctor with just my salary!

Omo!

Reacting to his post, Tolu claimed that there is crazy “price gouging” on Augmentin at the moment and that there are cheaper brands of antibiotics that do the same thing that Augmentin does. He mentioned that the cheapest drugs have the same ingredients as Augmentine and are ten times cheaper.

''I must say that there is a crazy price hike currently happening in Nigeria with GSK's Amoxicillin + Potassium Clavulanate brand ('Augmentin' brand), but other brands containing THE SAME active ingredients are TEN TIMES cheaper than that.

Any doctor who INSISTS on prescribing Augmentin at this point has a lot of explaining to do.”
