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.
