    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Hi Marku, it was around 260 euro which is about £225.00, still a fair amount to pay but cheaper than some items on this thread that I have seen but I was just so amazed that I could walk into a Pharmacy in a fairly small village and just buy over the counter, it was so easy.
