Indicative pricing compiled from publicly available pharmacy pricing, August 2026. Individual branches may price differently — always confirm before you buy. See the full live comparison table for every pharmacy we track.
Across every dose we track, Clicks lists a lower price than Dis-Chem by roughly R100–R150 per pen. That said, Dis-Chem's Benefit programme and frequent promotional pricing can close or reverse that gap, and Medirite (Dis-Chem's value banner) usually undercuts both. It always pays to compare your specific branch before filling a script.
Clicks: 500+ stores, ~390 with an in-store dispensary — the widest pharmacy footprint in the country.
Dis-Chem: 300+ stores, typically larger-format with a dedicated pharmacy counter in almost every branch.
Clicks: ClubCard — earns points on dispensed medicine, redeemable storewide.
Dis-Chem: Benefit programme, plus "Pack My Meds" pre-packaging and repeat-script SMS reminders for chronic medicine.
Both chains offer nationwide courier delivery for prescription medicine with cold-chain packaging. Delivery fees and cut-off times vary by promotion — check at checkout.
Both chains process chronic medicine benefit claims directly with all major South African medical schemes, so your out-of-pocket cost depends more on your plan's formulary than on which chain you use.
