    Wow thanks guys!! Dunno why, but I'd gotten into my head that it was like 40 or 50 eur! :eek: That's good news!! One more question - can you ask for it over the counter or does your doc still have to presribe it?

    No your Dr has to prescribe it.

    Your doc has to prescribe it, however if you go into the same chemist regularly you may be able to beg a month from them until you get your prescription from the doctor.

    i'm on Ovranette, €4.90 ftw.

    I didn't realise other Pills were so much cheaper...I wonder why Dianette is more expensive.

    well i'm guessing coz Dianette is to target acne.

    I was on it for a while but it made my acne worse and made me go a bit crazy. I'm on Cilest just for contraception not for cramps, migraines,acne etc

    My old chemist where i used to live was €12.60. Maybe chemist prices vary???
