yes it's shocking!!!!! But who is profiting from our loss I wonder???
Can I ask is there any site where you can compare the price of prescription drugs charged by different Pharmacies ? Or do I just have to contact each individually?
Where can I find out the price of generic Ramipril and Simvastatin?
Thanks
I have a prescription that costs me about €40 per month. Following a recent newspaper report, I went to Newry to get the prescription filled.
I got it filled for 4 months. Cost in Dublin would have been €160. Cost in Newry was £40. Add in petrol costs and I've saved about €100.
We've been getting prescription tabs for High blood pressure, Hypo Thyroidism, Osteopenia and B12 in France and Spain (including Canary Islands) for the past 10 years at a fraction of the cost here. Medication has paid for many a holidayRecent announcements re generic drugs costing less for the public purse are a nonsense - it still costs at least 3 or 4 times the price here than it does in other (easily accessible) countries in Europe.
buying Meds in North
Ask your GP to use the Generic names and get a prescription for 6 months,
ring the pharmacy before you go and ask if they will give you 6 months supply in one go and get the prices, usually they will check if they have stock and reserve it for you,
I have bought my BP meds, in Newry for several years now at roughly a third of ROI prices, McKeevers in Newry or the Medical hall at the Quays shopping centre are very helpful and happy to answer any queries, it takes me an hour to reach Newry from Dublin by car
Tell me, are all doctors prescriptions welcome up North (and elsewhere in Europe), or do you need to get your GP to do anything different ?
Thanks.
