Restasis in Europe

[Brula]

Does someon know how to get Rastasis in EUROPE ??? Or do i have to fly to America an get it there?

Restasis is not yet commercialised in Europe, though some people receive that treatment thru a special national health care import program. More frequently, some hospitals in some countries produce cyclosporine at similar or higher dosage, in different types of oil (maize, ricin, etc). That's the case of France and I think i've heard that there is some limited use in Austria...
so I don't know if you can cross the Alps and try to get treatment there?
take care

And what about international pharmacy ? Is there any Pharmacy in Europe that could get Restasis ?

Hey! I wrote to Allergan Austria, and they told me that i can get Restasis via internetional Pharmacy in Wienna www.internationale-apotheke.at
I just need a prescription from my doctor, and of course a lot of money

yep, Restasis is very expensive here.I pay about 140€ for a package with 32 trials....but I saw that it isn't very cheap in the US either!

Hey! I wrote to internationale apotheke in Vienna, and they want me to pay 200€ for just 1 package !!!
stephgurl1986: Where did you get Restasis for 140€ ? 60€ is a little difference, right ?

Does anyone have news on this????? 140.00 is not so bad as in the US it is 120 $.00 average
I have been trying the french ciclosporine but it is mixed with maize oil and unbearable

It is possible to order Restasis at internet pharmacies which will deliver to Europe.

this may or may not be legal in your country, and probably gives a higher risk of counterfeit drug supply, but it is an alternative.

Write me privately for more.
