The Curious Incident of the pharmacy Terradura

On January 9 (it was a Sunday) I took my son to 'on continuity of care "(vulgar" duty doctor ") pediatric Conselve. The diagnosis was a mild form of conjunctivitis (again, a distance of less than three months and, above all, even on Sundays!), Care is still the drops Tobral. Are still in luck lucky last time round was the pharmacy of Cartura, on the way back, this time is to Terradura, a few steps from home. Of course, I always turn to some reservations from Dr. Muta, to which I have already had occasion to report that many villagers found their prices significantly higher than in other pharmacies in the area. But, in short, what will ever happen with an eye drop that costs less than seven €?

The answer lies in the receipts that you see below: to the left of the pharmacy Cartura of October 17, to the right of the pharmacy Terradura January 9 (note the code of the drug, the same for both tickets).

me there is a suspicion that the drugs increase happens. In that case, it can happen that you "update" the stock prices of these drugs in order to adapt to the new list: generally, however, is good practice to notify customers of the incident, which Dr. From did not suit. Not to be left in doubt, look at what other chemists are on duty and a call to ask what is the price of Tobral: the answer is that its price is (still) € 6.80.

then I call to ask her pharmacist friend: you can change at will the price of prescription drugs such as Tobral? "Of course not," is his answer: "the price is set and the pharmacist is obliged to respect it." Probably said it feared that to ask a discount, but the answer seems clear, no?

Add to this, a bit 'of salt. Incidentally I still have the old home made eyedrops: comparison of the two caps e. .. surprise! Below you see the next version of Cartura, right to Terradura (magnification of the part of the correction).



I wonder how many packs "retouched" we will be in the pharmacy Terradura?

Beyond speculation, the fact is clear: prices pharmacy Terradura are systematically higher than those of other pharmacies in the area. This should already be a problem in and of itself (the pharmacy is Terradura city, so any loss of revenue for the pharmacy is a loss of revenue for the city), but it seems that, in this case, it is an episode that justify the 'Order of Pharmacists intervention. So I proceeded to point out the same thing to the Order, requesting their intervention.

If you have other documentation, please let us have : will show that this is not an isolated case and facilitating the eventual decision of the Order.
