The price per tablet, with a prescription, is much lower than OTC.

I have 1g paracetamol tablets on prescription and the cost is just under 20 chf for a box of a hundred tablets.

I got a lecture once from a pretty stuck-up young assistant rambling on about how we use too much pharmaceutical stuff here in Switzerland, and didn’t dare asking again  .
Will go along with a stick on my shoulder there again tomorrow, and demand to be served more than one packet  .

| Quote: | | | | | The price per tablet, with a prescription, is much lower than OTC. | | | | | Buying Ibuprofen OTC, my pharmacy routinely gives the lysine one, which a) is faster acting and b) more expensive than straight ibuprofen. My doc prescribed ibuprofen and I got just that - not the one with lysin.
An aside: my annual medical spend is ~7K. That means if I want medication, I can make an appointment, see my doctor, get a prescription and not pay for it as such. Seems a bit of a waste. I think if you yearly are necessarily a high spender, you should get OTC for free! | Quote: | | | | | Really?

But then it's the pharmacies which are selling it and the doctors recommending it.

Since that little lecture, I have thought about any and every ibuprofen I have consumed since then, and asked myself if it’s really necessary. In most cases it isn’t (only when I get stuck with acute sinusitis due to allergies occasionally).
And now, I only take it if absolutely necessary. Saves money and is probably much healthier. And the Apotheke I go to is one of the best, that I go to since many years and they know me. https://www.apotheke-rigi.ch/
So you’re right Tom1234, and actually no changes needed!
