i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 8 days once
a prescription from one member state is meant to be recognised in another under the cross border rules. whether the pharmacist knows that is another matter

any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
send both languages
check the date on that
right so can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
varies by pharmacy
handling fee is worse than vat
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
poland came out cheapest of the four countries members compared about eighteen months ago, we shall see
prices moved since
netherlands was reported in here at around 200 euros a month out of pocket a year or so ago, with conditions attached to any reimbursement
the cheapest eu route a member found was a local pharmacy with a local prescription, which is no help if you have neither
privat means you pay
write simple english
statutory insurance in germany did not cover it for weight when i last read about it. for the diabetes indication it was a different conversation
in germany the split is privat versus kasse. a private prescription means you pay the pharmacy price yourself and when i checked last year that was a lot
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more
is there anywhere in the eu where this is actually cheap
follow up a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
that was 2024 pricing
