Just a starter for 10... 48 packs of migraleve are a multiple charge.
This is because they were OTC until the new paracetamol rules (and now the codeine ones too) disallowed quantities over 32, and the NHS didn't want to be handing out 48 for a single prescription charge for something that would usually cost twice as much to buy and was a branded item. While branded meds are OTC, they are usually not prescribable at all via NHS (see Blacklisted items)

Other than that, do some research- it's not that tough. Good luck!
