as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
*PeptideMeter 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
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
ok so the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix
[edited]anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes

can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another

spain, is it pharmacy only and what does it come to
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260privat means you pay
is there anywhere in the eu where this is actually cheap
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
while im here i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
poland pricing, has anyone compared it against germany
write simple english
slightly off topic but what does privat versus kassenrezept mean in money terms
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 14 days once
is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking
the price for the same dose in two eu countries differed by about forty percent in the one careful comparison i have seen in here
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget, happy to be corrected
the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix
how do you deal with a supplier whose support is in one language only

what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
how far ahead do people order given transit inside the eu
my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did
handling fee is worse than vat
poland was cheapest
