E-drug: Prescription fees (cont)
---------------------------------------------
In Spain we have a fixed structure price of community pharmacies
based on a percentage of cost of medicine. This percentage varies
from time to time in accordance with agreement between "Consejo
General de Colegios Oficiales de Farmaceuticos" (spanish pharmacies
association) and the Government. Nowadays this percentage is 27.9% of
major distribution cost, except in expensive drugs which have a top
fee of $ 110.
In the last few months, the neoliberal government policy tries to
disregulate this system, endangering an equitative access to medicines.
