follow up has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 5 days once
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly
pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more
quick one germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
diabetes yes weight no
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
nordics are brutal
sorry to jump in as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork

ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
poland was cheapest
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another

is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork
check the date on that
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does, anyway
