Highlights from this day
- ghk_gia — a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy 17:19
- ghk_gia — that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu, ask me again in a month 17:22
- coa_or_cope — a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year, not advice obviously 17:26
- ghk_gia — ok so a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that 18:22
- LC_MS_Lena — 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… 19:10

any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
