The study found that Switzerland had the highest prices in Europe—123% of the European average. Ireland ranked second (119%), followed by Denmark and Germany (114%), Italy (110%) and the United Kingdom (110%). At the other end of the pricing spectrum, Poland had the lowest prices (82% of the European average), followed by Slovakia (87%), Sweden (89%), Finland (90%) and France and Greece (91%).
Drugs without competition mainly comprise patent-protected products but also include some medicines that have lost market exclusivity but cannot be substituted. The analysis included only drugs that were available in the outpatient setting in both Sweden and each comparator country. In comparing list prices, it is important to bear in mind that discounts and rebates that are not (fully) in the public domain may lead to significantly lower net prices in some countries, such as Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
