*that should say weekly
three working days

check the date on that
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
anyone had a german pharmacy order it in and how long did that take
you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them
privat means you pay
nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not, we shall see
what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours
nordics are brutal
poland was cheapest
🧊1👀16
that was 2024 pricing
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
approval isnt reimbursement
🙏2
is it reimbursed anywhere in the eu or is it private everywhere
member reported
diabetes yes weight no
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
german pharmacies will order in what they do not stock. mine took three working days when i asked in 2024
👍2🎉3👀1
quick one 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
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
is the price the same across pharmacies in a country or does it vary a lot

write simple english
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
sorry to jump in no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
