Pack sizes and presentations differ between member states, so a headline price is not comparable until it is normalised to a common quantity.
private pricing varies enormously between neighbouring countries
a prescription from one member state is not automatically valid in another

Disagree.
tove_ogunleye is right about cross-border recognition being narrower than the summaries suggest.
the EMA authorises, member states decide who pays
a shortage in one member state is not a shortage in all of them
Have you read the published reimbursement criteria where you are?
Have you read the published reimbursement criteria where you are?
Disagreeing with this bit: that criterion belongs to one member state and is being quoted as general.
