This statistic shows the average retail prices of selected pharmaceuticals in Sweden in 2008 and 2015. Prices for over-the-counter medicine in Swedish pharmacies generally increased over this time span. While Vanquin tablets had a price of 133 Swedish kronor in 2008, it was offered for a price of 252 Swedish kronor in 2015. Very little price increase was recorded for Nasoferm nasal spray, which was available for 30 Swedish kronor in 2008 and which cost 31 kronor in 2015.
In 2009, Sweden had a pharmacy reform with the aim to increase the availability of pharmaceuticals. Since that year, retail stores are permitted to sell over-the-counter medicine. While selling prices increased at pharmacies, retail stores are offering medicine for lower prices.
