Amoxicillin is used in the treatment of a number of infections including: acute otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, pneumonia, skin infections, urinary tract infections, salmonella, lyme disease, and chlamydia infections.
I have to do some dental work done, and this is how I came across the following outrageous prizes in Switzerland:
| Amoxicilline 500 mg | Number of Pills | Price € | Price CHF | Price per Pill | Origin |
| TEVA | 12 | 2.06 € | 2.47 CHF | 0.2058 CHF | France |
| SANDOZ | 12 | 2.25€ | 2.70 CHF | 0.225 CHF | France |
| ZENTIVA | 12 | 2.25€ | 2.70 CHF | 0.225 CHF | France |
| MEPHA | 20 | 37.5€ | 45 CHF | 2.25 CHF | Switzerland |
Price per pill is 10 yes TEN times more expensive in Switzerland than in France! Yes that a
1000% prices increase and not the 40% you hear in Swiss newspapers!
Switzerland's Health Care System is DEEPLY BROKEN and controlled by 3 monopoly
| Switzerland Population 7'952'600 | Number | Density for 100’000 persons | France Population 63’460’000 | Number | Density for 100’000 persons |
| Doctors | 16'087 | 205 | 208’727 | 334 | |
| Pharmacies | 1’733 | 22 | 23’000 | 36.24 | |
| Insurance companies | 80 to 90 private insurance companies | 1’275 mutuelles 118 private insurance companies |
CH: references 2010 + Swiss HealthCare System + http://www.civitas.org.uk/nhs/download/switzerland.pdf
FR: References 2012 + Private Health Insurance in France http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/35/11/30455292.pdf 2500 pages / page 18 “Mutuelles represent roughly 60% of the total market. Non-profit provident institutions and private insurance companies (including both for-profit and non-profit carriers) split the remaining 40%”
Conclusions
Never Never buy any medicament in Switzerland, go to France/ Germany by Car, offer you a restaurant and a day abroad and it will be still cheaper!
For the skeptical out there I have all bills and boxes to prove this!
