Hi
One of my meds has been taken off the list of "refundable" medication here in Spain also, just suddenly, no warning. Now I must make an appointment for cardiologist, as doctor is not confident prescribing alternative. Until I see cardiologist, I'm forced to pay 90 euro per month for this one medication.... Zarelto 20mg
No explanation for withdrawal given.
Hi .thank you for your reply,yes I have had to make appointment to see my doctor but he is not back from his holiday till the 22nd of this month .mine was taken off without warning as well .farmacia told me it had been canceled .i have had to buy mine which are 105 euros .its very worrying for us when this has happened .hope we can get it sorted .
