Hello, can I ask for a replacement at a better price if I am prescribed "tablets" and I choose a substitute "coated tablets"? Best regards

You can always ask for a cheaper equivalent to be sold, but it is ultimately up to the pharmacist to decide whether this is possible. In doing so, it analyses several factors, including but not limited to the form of the drug. If both the tablets and the coated tablets you mention are in the form of an immediate release, then it is most likely possible to dispense them interchangeably.
