Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “nonprescription drugs” changed −0.5% (2018 average vs 2017, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per capsule by +100.0% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
