    It is more likely that the national healthcare systems eat up a large portion of the cost difference. It is not clear from the dataset however if this is purchase cost or end-user cost.

    Prescription medication in Australia for example is heavily subsidised.

      Finland isn’t on that list, but the purchase cost here before any socialized healthcare rebates is ~110€ for a month’s dose of Ozempic, which is in line with the other European countries, so presumably all the prices there are before any rebates.
