Get a different pill?

Hello,

I've been taking Swingo 20 for a while, but today I got Maexeni 20 at the pharmacy. Why is this, and is there a way to get Swingo 20 again?
I would really appreciate it if I could get an answer.

If the active ingredient and the dosage are identical, you can also get a comparable product. More favorable drugs that have the same composition are called generic drugs, these are usually rebuilt after the end of the patent period by other manufacturers.

In principle, you get the same pill among other names.

Hi.

there can be several reasons why you didn’t get your usual pill.

1. Did you have a cash recipe? The pharmacy must address the requirements of the health insurance. Health insurance companies have so-called discount contracts with various manufacturers for most medicines. The medicinal products of these companies must then be given priority. Even if the doctor writes a drug from company A, it may be that this is not included in the discount contracts of your cash. Instead, your cashier has contracts with companies B, C and D. The pharmacy must therefore give priority to company B, C or D. Discount contracts can change. Maybe your pill was still in discount contracts before, but it is no longer.

Exchange is usually not a problem. The amount and type of active ingredients are the same. Only auxiliaries can be different.

Two. Maybe your pill is not available at all and you have given yourself a different preparation (active substances are still the same). It is possible that the pill is still available in other pharmacies, so that you can redeem the recipe elsewhere.

3. Maybe your pill was just sold out and you were sold a drug-like preparation. Here you can simply ask if the other pill can be ordered. Often, pharmacies are supplied several times a day from wholesale so that you can pick up the drug on the same day.

Whether there is possibility 1, 2 or 3 right now, you can only say in the pharmacy where you have redeemed your recipe.

If No. 1 applies and the discount contract has changed, you can’t do much. You can ask your doctor if he sets an aut-idem cross and thus prohibits the exchange. But if there is no real reason for this, doctors often do not. Then there is the possibility that you buy “deine pill” as a desired medicine. That means your recipe is treated like a private recipe and you have to pay the full selling price (depending on the package size, the price is between 35 and 50€). You can submit the purchase receipt at your cashier and refund the money (or part).

And why didn’t you ask directly at the pharmacy? Why doesn’t anyone talk when people are in white?
