[Country] ES — private receta, pharmacy stock, and the August problem
ES — private receta, pharmacy stock, and the August problem, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it.
Nothing here is medical or legal advice, and eligibility questions have national answers that a pharmacist where you live can give you in minutes.
Assumed a prescription would be honoured across the border. It was not, and the rules are clear once you actually read them.
Read the published reimbursement criteria where I live rather than asking. Took twenty minutes and answered everything.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.

Published reimbursement criteria exist in most member states and are usually available in the national language. They are the authoritative answer to eligibility questions that this board can only guess at.
Compared prices across two neighbouring countries and found the difference was mostly pack size once I normalised it.
the EMA authorises, member states decide who pays
the language barrier is a real cost and nobody budgets for it
pack sizes differ, so per-month comparisons need care
the language barrier is a real cost and nobody budgets for it
This is the split the whole board depends on. Authorisation is European; payment is national.
