Re: Medicines
What is peoples experiences of the cost of medicines at farmacia?
I only ask, because people had told me its quite reasonably priced here. Imagine my shock therefore when I went for some prescription tablets (Prevencor) to reduce cholestorol and got charged 48 euros for 28 of them!
I seem to remember that you don't get medicines free after you reach retirement age here (is that correct) so getting ill could become expensive even if you are covered under the state or private!!
