How can I receive medication for overweight through the reimbursement system?

The most common modern medications for overweight are currently only covered by the reimbursement system if the patient has type 2 diabetes and has not achieved sufficient blood sugar control with other, less expensive treatment options. In other cases, the patient must cover the full cost themselves.

This also applies, for example, to erectile dysfunction medications, many vitamins, and certain cough medicines, which are also not covered by reimbursement.
