Association for Health Equity Medicines wants a 5% price increase for generics
The Portuguese Association for Health Equity Medicines (AMES) is asking the government for a 5% price increase for generic and biosimilar drugs, citing rising energy and transport costs. The request aims to offset production and distribution expenses currently affecting these medications.
Why it mattersIf you frequently use generic or biosimilar medications, this request could lead to higher out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy if the government approves the price increase.
