How do you know that the medicine obtained is the real thing and not just a copy (or talc in a capsule!)?
If you poison yourself and/or your family by taking inappropriate medication, I hope you won't then demand to have either the public medical system or VHI/BUPA insurance pay for the cost of your recovery.
You should work for the Pharmacists as a Lobbyist. That's brilliant stuff!
there are plenty of good reasons why high prices are charged for certain goods or services...Whenever this is explained on these pages, people don't ever seem interested in hearing the reasons and regularly question the bona fides of the person giving the explanation.
Yes it is. The dispensation of over the counter drugs is strictly regulated in this country. In general, potentially dangerous medicine can only be dispensed where accompanied by an appropriate standard of advice. Pharmacists and doctors are professionally and financially accountable for breaches of regulations and/or failure to observe good practice. Consumers are protected (both as consumers and as patients) by these laws, which also provide assurance as to the quality of the product being purchased. Afaik, no such accountability or recourse exists in relation to medicines bought or imported(perhaps illegally) off the web.Is it any different to poisoning yourself on over the counter drugs?
Are you being smart? If so, proves my point from an earlier post in another thread today:
Someone with medication is far more likely to hurt themselves than others.
Ordinarily one would have to pay well over 1,000 Euro if purchased here.
