Getting access to antibiotics in Europe's sick health system

Getting access to antibiotics in Europe's sick health system

For example in fupd Germany you can get antibiotics only on prescription!
This practically means that you have to make an appointment with a/your doctor,
wait till that date, then go to the doctor's room, and let him/her examine you,
and beg that he/she prescribes the antibiotics you need and want.

The antibiotics in question usually costs "only" about €15, but then count also
the fees for the doctor, as well of your lost time of at least 2 hours for going to the doc...
and the total cost will become at least €500 !!! Compare this to the €15 of the antibiotics itself,
and think about who is the big greedy profiteer of this giant sick corrupt health system...

I wonder why the health insurances don't start a rebellion against this corrupt practice and system,
since in 99.9% of the cases it's themselves who have to pay the said bill of €500 instead of the €15.

Isn't that a crazy corrupt health system here over in most fupd Europen "socialist" bigbrother countries?

Anybody knows of "alternatives" to get such a mild antibiotics like Roxi-300 tabs (or a similar one)
in this sick Germany (aka Land of the sheep ), w/o a prescription and doc visit?

Couldn't you just cross the border into another country (e.g. France) to get the mild antibiotics that you're trying to get...

If not, what about the black market...you don't need to see a Doctor but there's no guarantee that what you purchase is the real antibiotic.

I'm in the center of the country, the border to any of the neighbouring countries is unfortunately far away from here, so it would be an expensive journey.
You said France as an example, but are you sure that in France the regulations re antibiotics is any different than from Germany?
I think in the US such mild antibiotics can freely be bought in drugstores w/o a prescription.

Nope, not for the most part.

I think it's "for protecting society," but you might be able to get them shipped to you from a website like
https://bangkok-retail.com/

BANGKOK RETAIL
ONLINE PHARMACY FROM THAILAND
In Thailand, many medicines are available without a prescription and for reasonable prices. Here at Bangkok Retail, it is possible to take advantage of this interesting situation.

Our service and method of working are simple but effective. You place an order without prescription, questions, or any other requirements. We ship genuine medicines obtained from licensed Thai pharmacies.

Years of business and many parcels later, we have concluded that countries like the United States and Singapore tolerate the import of pharmaceutical products for personal use. Our payment method might therefore be the only obstacle.

Buying medicines from an online Thai pharmacy through Bitcoin sounds probably a bit questionable. Doubts that we would like to remove by fulfilling your order successfully.

Wikipedia says that this antibiotics is avail only in a few countries, but not avail in the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxithromycin
"
Roxithromycin

Roxithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat respiratory tract, urinary and soft tissue infections. Roxithromycin is derived from erythromycin, containing the same 14-membered lactone ring. However, an N-oxime side chain is attached to the lactone ring. It is also currently[when?] undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of male-pattern hair loss.[1]

It was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1987.[2] Roxithromycin is available under several brandnames. Roxithromycin is not available in the United States. Roxithromycin is available in Australia, France, Germany, Israel, South Korea and New Zealand. Roxithromycin has also been tested to possess antimalarial activity.

I have twice used Roxi-300 (10 tabs or so) by the company 1A-Pharma or so, it did indeed help me.
But unfortunately it seems I need it often, but I don't like to go to the doc each time b/c I don't want support this gigantic corrupt health system. I just need the tabs, not any idiot doctor that tells me how to take the shaet, and then pockets €500 for this "medical advice"...

Edit / Update:
Found an English text about this, where also the said "Roxi 300" is listed (as "ROXI-1 A PHARMA 300 mg, tablets"):

I'm unaware of the regulations in Germany to do a comparison to France but I do know there's an active black market for countries in the Eurozone.

Also, I'm not familiar with this specific antibiotic that you need and I've never seen a pharmacy sell antibiotics over the counter (if that's what you mean by freely as in without a prescription) in the United States or Canada.

Yet, it would seem to be the black market is your best option in trying to get medicine that is not over the counter and without a prescription that requires a Doctor's visit.

Guess what, dude. You can get antibiotics only through prescription in the USA, too!

There's a reason for that.

I heard different. Maybe differs among US states.

There's a reason for that.

Yes, I call it corruption. A political & financial cast decides about who gets access to antibiotics and for which price. The goal is to maximize the profits of the very cast of their own... And it's not even the maker of the antibiotics itself, at least not officially, but an "interest group"...
