Un-reimbursed Prescribed Drugs/Medicines

Un-reimbursed Prescribed Medicines

You can claim tax relief for expenditure of amounts up to €144 per calendar month for prescribed medication.

Expenditure in excess of €144 per month is recoverable from your Local Health Office under the Drugs Payment Scheme. You can register with your Local Health Office as an individual or family for a Drugs Payment Card.

Using this Drugs Payment Card you do not pay more than €144 per month for prescribed medication to the chemist and thus avoid having to claim amounts in excess of €144 from your Local Health Office.
