4.04 Flexible medicine prices

The retail prices of the individual pharmacy-only medicinal products are uniform at all pharmacies in Denmark. This reflects the general healthcare policy principles behind the public health service that offers easy and equal access to healthcare services. The uniform prices are today secured through complex regulations of the pharmacy sector’s economy.

Lif believes: 

• that the retail prices of pharmacy-only medicinal products should be uniform across the whole of Denmark in the future,
  
  
• that in the future the regulation of the pharmacy sector should ensure that expenses in connection with retail distribution of medicinal products are not unnecessary high e.g. ensure a cost-effective distribution structure.
