The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has today (03/03/2026) confirmed the following final list of price concessions for February 2026:
| Drug | Pack size | Price concession |
| Aqueous cream | 100 | £0.99 |
| Aqueous cream | 500 | £5.80 |
| Clarithromycin 125mg/5ml oral suspension | 70 | £11.10 (previously £9.59) |
| Lofepramine 70mg tablets | 56 | £24.86 (previously £23.89) |
| Trimethoprim 100mg tablets | 28 | £4.07 (previously £3.70) |
For the full list of price concessions granted for February 2026 please visit our price concession hub page here. There are no prices that rolled over from the previous month.
These prices will apply to prescriptions submitted for payment for the dispensing month of February 2026.
Please note: These prices do not apply to March 2026 prescriptions as we are still working with DHSC to confirm price concessions for March. The first update for this month will be published as soon as we receive a response from the Department.
Notes
No additional endorsements are required for price concessions. A price concession only applies for the month it is granted; any prices agreed for concessions requested late in the month will roll over into the following month.
Top-up payments will be made for certain products if data from the Margin Survey identifies that the original concession prices granted by DHSC were inappropriately low compared to the average pharmacy purchase price for the month. In such cases, a top-up will be triggered automatically and paid on a quarterly basis. More information on retrospective top-ups can be found here.
Please subscribe to our mailing list to receive email updates of any price concessions.
