Especially bio drugs. A little research it's all on line . I probable could have been more detailed in my answer. There's is a compounding Co. in Canada that specializes in meds for auto immune diseases.
Have a good day!
Hello Quest4Cure, I think you may have misunderstood or I worded it wrong.
I know not all pharma are located in the USA, and they do all have websites tailored to each country. What I was trying to say was, that Ireland don't have the same system as you do in the USA, they work on a similar system to the rest of Europe. Where we pay into a social system and then get our medication and treatment at reduced rates or in some cases free. The pharma companies in Europe, the way I understand it don't offer any financial support to the patent, because the patient is already subsidised by their government.
In the USA you do have programs where you can get support from the pharma companies whether it be by free medication, co-pay, or discount coupons. And I wasn't suggesting you was wrong, I was saying to Naillij that the information you gave is not relevant to Ireland where she lives. I didn't want her or any of our readers thinking there may be coupons or discounts, there isn't and they will still have to pay €144 per month unless they are on low income and then they will get it free.
*But it is still paid for by the Irish government, and not via the pharma by way of discounts, coupons, etc.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I hope that helps clarify.
