It's a first for me that has taken this long. It required a bit more authorization than other rxs. But yeah we def can't just walk up to a pharmacy and get a rx filled lol

Insurance having such control and practicing medicine in an indirect way like that is insane Not that insurance here will accept and cover everything, of course For medicine we just get the prescription from the doc, see if a public pharmacy has it (so it's free), or just buy it at any pharmacy

Some insurance can give you a discount while buying some medicine We have even a bunch of medicine that you don't even need a prescription to buy (but to take from the public pharmacy, you need to show them a prescription for everything, even regular eye drops, to control how much people are taking)

Oh and we have a thing called "genérico", which is when our government break the medicine patent and allows labs to produce the same medication at a low cost, so it's super cheap to buy it (a regular 400mg ibuprofen might cost R$20 or more, the generic one costs me R$9)
