Further update. The rest of Spain is as above and awaits a Royal decree but it could be that here in Catalonia you will pay 1 Euro per item on top of what is stated above.

Catalonia’s drug prescription fee    :o



Catalan citizens will have to pay a €1 fee for each drug prescription from June onwards. However, neither low income earners will have to pay the fee: nor those on non-contributory pensions, receivers of the minimum income integration grant, and chronically-ill patients. Furthermore, the fee will not be charged for medication that costs less than €1.67 and after 62 prescriptions in one year. The Catalan Government expects to obtain €180 million in additional revenue in 2013, as the fee will also reduce spending due to its dissuasive impact.
