Hi Brave lodge!
So sorry for not seeing this earlier. Fumaderm isn't texhnically licenced here I think, but a consultant can prescribe it. I'm fairly certain VHI won't cover it, and unfortunately you can't get the medical card to cover the cost. What you can do, is apply for a drug payment scheme card (DPS card). If you get it, it will mean you won't more than €144 a month for your prescriptions. fumaderm is ridiculously expensive here, so you should get it on the basis alone. I'm on little above minimum wage, and can't get any other kind of help with it. It is a lot to pay, but if it's possible and you can afford the €144, but if it works, it's worth it.
Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to message me!
