Medicine costs

still waiting for the precious C.V.... which is 'in the post', but i'm on top of the receipts so it's all money in the bank...


but... just back from the chemist with a new prescription for contraceptive pills...


WHAT THE BLEEP!!!


30 euro for 3 months... and Not 'claimable'


Wow. that's pricey...

it IS outrageous... in the pharmacie the box didn't have a little sticker - i asked if it was gratuit... and the chemist fell about laughing... just looked online and if i were a pharmacie i can buy them for 8 euros - so they are making 22 euros on a box of contraceptives... i'm quite shocked

Outrageous isn't it especially as apparently abortion is reimbursable according to my female GP, it's one of her pet hates! There are a few that are reimbursable, you have to ask your doctor though as not sure which. I have a sterilet which is over 100 euros but, reimbursable and works a treat:-)
