does a prescription from one eu country work in another

CO

no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from

nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget, take that with a pinch of salt

privat means you pay

is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem

SA

nordic prices look brutal, is that real or is that just what gets reported
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

nordics are brutal

RR

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

FI

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 10 days once

anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly

CO

is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking
