PrEP
The DC pharmacy has a special background regarding PrEP care. The founder, Hans Smit, has worked hard with the PrEP.nu organization for an affordable price for PrEP in the Netherlands by entering into discussion with the pharmaceuticals manufacturers. The result of these efforts is that PrEP is now available for 39 euros per month in the pharmacy, including the processing fees. This is the lowest price ever in the Netherlands. You can get PrEP in bottles and in strip packages.
Using PrEP and living in Amsterdam?
The unique cooperation between the pharmacy and the HIV treatment centre in Amsterdam means that the PrEP care is centred in ONE location. The HIV treatment centre provides information on PrEP and performs the necessary tests before you can start. You pick up the medications directly from the DC pharmacy. The HIV treatment centre provides support afterward as well as coaching regarding treatment adherence.

Using PrEP and not living in Amsterdam?
The DC pharmacy starts a unique national collaboration with doctors to make PrEP available to everyone in the Netherlands. For more information see
www.prep-direct.nl. On the website you’ll find the quickest way to a clinic in the area for the required health tests. If you qualify for PrEP, you will receive the medication every month, delivered to you for free at the same price as you pay in the DC pharmacy.
Using the pharmacy
As a patient, you have the right to a free choice of pharmacies. So it is not necessary to completely change pharmacies if you want to utilize (a part of) the services of the DC pharmacy.
Tell your health care provider that you would like to receive (a part of) your medication via the DC pharmacy. You register once with the pharmacy and indicate which services you wish to utilize. The DC pharmacy team takes care of the rest.
