SAVONA. One in four people from Savona give up treatment. Certainly not because he doesn't care about his health, but because with the money he has he is no longer able to cover pharmaceutical costs, especially for those medicines that fall into category C.<\/p>\n

Further important signs that confirm once again how families find it more and more difficult to make ends meet every day.

In many cases the customer who goes to the counter and hears the amount he has to spend renounces the purchase, in some cases he says he has to think about it and asks if there is no other similar medicine at a lower cost than the one prescribed by the doctor . <\/p>\n

Many people even ask us if there is no drug similar to the one prescribed<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
