a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
poland was cheapest
diabetes yes weight no
transit inside the eu was 20 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
*Medutest not the other one
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, thats one data point

how far ahead do people order given transit inside the eu
coming back to this no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
cross border in theory
approval isnt reimbursement
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
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork

german pharmacies will order in what they do not stock. mine took three working days when i asked in 2024

the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
handling fee is worse than vat
