How much do you pay for medicine?

Medications

I’m on ESA (sickness benefits) in the UK, so I pay nothing for my quetiapine and painkillers. But I wondered how much other people have to pay in different countries?

For me it depends. Old generics are free. Newer generics or more expensive ones are $10 or $45. Brand name is $95.

I have a medical aid that I contribute 1850.00ZAR per month (about 180.00USD). It pays for my Abilify and other meds to the value of approximately 3500.00ZAR per month(about 330.00 USD). Abilify is quite expensive

I’m in the US and am on Medicare and Medicaid. My prescriptions are $1.20 each. I’m on Seroquel, Geodon, Klonopin, and Lexapro for my psych meds. I’m also on other meds for physical illnesses. If it weren’t for my insurance I’d be screwed. These meds are expensive. :sunny:

I’m the same as you , pay nothing. UK. I always complain about them but i know i should be glad and thankful for them.

I am from Croatia(Europe) and all meds (even the new ones like Abilify, Geodon, ) are free. If you are employed you have to pay something like 10$ a month and all meds are free. If you are unemployed you don’t have to pay anything. Very social country.

I’m in Sweden. I pay about 2500 SEK / year. It’s about 250€ or 360 USD. I have Abilify and Quetiapine. I get free medicine for the rest of the year after two months.
