There are several cases in which a pharmacist may refuse to dispense a medicine from a pharmacy. One of such situations is, for example, when the drug has been prescribed on a prescription whose unique number identifying the prescription has been blocked no later than one day before dispensing and placed in the nationwide database of blocked prescription numbers maintained by the National Health Fund, or there is a suspicion that the prescription has been falsified.
Any refusal to fill a prescription should be accompanied by a justification for the refusal.
I don't know exactly what kind of drug the situation is about. Due to the marking in the tags, I suspect that it may apply to Ozempic. This preparation is currently a scarce drug and perhaps the pharmacy refused to sell it because the preparation was reserved for another patient. Perhaps the drug has been prescribed incorrectly and you can only buy the drug for full pay with your prescription? There can be many reasons for this, so I encourage you to visit the pharmacy again and ask about the reason for the refusal to dispense the medicine. Ask for a justification of the decision and you will find out what the reason for the refusal was.
Everything is going from under the counter now, some are already so brazen that they offer directly for 1400 zlotys. Until the prosecutor's office steps in, there is no chance for normal treatment.
