Hi all,
Does anybody take Ramipril, Bisoprolol or Simvastatin ? and have to pay the full price at the pharmacy . If so, could you give me an idea of the cost please.

Just another issue I'm sorting out .LOL.

For statins I paid around €2 for a box, 28 tablets

Mitzyboy, Thanks for that, not as expensive as I thought.

It was stange because when we first started buying them they were €10 - €12 a box, and then over a period of a few months it dropped right down. I dont know if they had a dual pricing policy for what they thought were tourists and what they realised were residents :-)

Probably because at that time, Simvastatin was the cheap alternative to the Atorvastatin which was nearer €30. When Atorvastitin patents ran out, the generic version was much cheaper so the original cheap option had to get even cheaper.

I had Prevastatin .. so I'm guessing in some way the same applied :-)

Is Simvastatin available without subscription? I've just about ran out and would rather just get them from a pharmacy instead of bothering the Doctor
Thanks

The price of Simavastina and Ramapril, cost around 2.50 euros over the counter,
If you are pensionable age you only pay 10% of that price.

Available without prescription
