"Yes they're cheaper *now*, but when all the pharmacies go bust do you really think they'll stay cheap??"
Yep, because all the supermarkets compete against each other.
I could point to the example of supermarkets that now sell petrol and supermakets that sell home'n'wear clothing.
In neither case has the sky fallen or prices risen.
The current situation is a cosy little monopoly that has kept prices high is especially unfortunate for the older generation who are more likely to need the products and more likely to be on a restricted income.
