Do you know these problems?

Rebates stay invisible

Rebate information is confidential. Nobody has it.

Consultant, pharmaceutical industry

Agreed rebate and contract prices between sick funds and manufacturers are not public, so no data provider can hand you the net price of a competitor. What you can work with is the published price layer and the statutory discount layer around it. Teams that mistake one for the other end up modelling a market that does not exist.

List price is not the paid price

What you do not have is probably the manufacturer rebate, right? You probably cannot see it in the history.

Chief of Staff, pharmaceutical company

Market prices are visible, the discount behind them usually is not. Without a clean view of the ex-factory price and how it moved, every rebate calculation starts with a guess. The gap is rarely one missing number, it is knowing which of several price levels a given figure actually refers to.

History too short to analyse

[We are looking for] the option to get data on how a medicine has developed over the past 25 years.

Analyst, pharmaceutical company

Long price series are not a nice to have for market access. Inflation adjustment, reference pricing and launch benchmarks all need the earlier price, not just the current one. When the series is fragmented across sources, the analysis stalls before it starts.

Price comparison of an original product, two generics and a reimport, with the four pricing effects listed underneath

Launch Pricing Data shows what a product costs across the sectors that matter for a launch decision. Original, generics and reimports sit next to each other instead of in four separate tools.

  • Sector-specific launch prices for sick funds and hospital pharmacies
  • Compare prices of original, generics and reimported products
  • Pricing effects on GKV refunds, patient co-payments, manufacturer and pharmacy discounts
  • Official German drug prices updated twice a month

Check AMNOG status by substance, not by PDF

Stacked cards for dossier, comparative therapy, IQWiG assessment, oral hearing and resolution, next to the AMNOG mandatory discount and European Comparison Price

Search a substance name and see whether it is in AMNOG. The AMNOG Benefit Assessment Database puts current and completed benefit-risk procedures in one view, so you do not reassemble a procedure file from scattered documents.

  • Dossier of the pharmaceutical entrepreneur
  • Information on the comparative therapy and from IQWiG's benefit-risk assessment
  • Minutes of the oral hearing, resolution and reasons
  • AMNOG mandatory discounts and European Comparison Price

Watch pricing where it is actually decided

Regional discount layers shown on a schematic map of Germany with the nationwide AMNOG discount layer underneath

Local Pricing & Contracting Data covers the discount structure on a regional level, on top of the AMNOG discounts. It is the layer above the national picture, and it is where competitor pricing behaviour becomes visible.

  • Price discount structure on a regional level on top of AMNOG discounts
  • Monitor local pricing strategies of other products and competitors
  • Compact economic-pharmaceutical information on the listed medicinal products

German drug pricing and market access data in one search

pharmazie.com brings German pricing and market access data into a single search: Rx and OTC ex-factory prices, price comparison, price history, AMNOG status and reimbursement, drawn only from official sources. Pricing and market access teams use it to see the full price picture at launch, follow a benefit assessment by substance, and track what moved in the market on a fixed cycle, instead of rebuilding each view from separate systems.

See the full price picture before a launch decision

A launch price is only as defensible as the levels behind it. Original, generics and reimports sit side by side, each with its published ex-factory and pharmacy retail price, so the comparison group is visible in one view rather than assembled by hand in a spreadsheet. Price history is part of the product, which lets you follow how a price developed rather than read a single current figure.

Check AMNOG status by substance, not by PDF

For value and reimbursement work, you search a substance name and see whether it sits in an AMNOG procedure. The benefit assessment database puts current and completed procedures in one place, from the dossier and the IQWiG assessment through to the resolution, so you follow a substance without reassembling the file each time. The European Comparison Price appears in the same view where the procedure references it.

Watch pricing where it is actually decided

List price is not the price that gets paid. Above the published level sits the regional discount structure, on top of the AMNOG discounts, and that is the layer where reimbursement is really decided. The platform makes the published prices and the reference rules visible so your assumptions rest on data. One point we state plainly: agreed rebate amounts between manufacturers and sick funds are confidential, and no provider can show them.

Why pricing teams consolidate their sources

The pattern repeats: one product looked up across four sources, a price history too short to analyse, and rebate levels that stay invisible whatever the tool. Bringing the published data into one search removes the manual reconciliation, and the Transparency List AVWG compares original, generics and reimports including Bonus Malus aspects. The Pharmonitor then reports what moved in the German market every 14 days with the output fields you choose, so monitoring becomes a delivery rather than a sweep. One honest limit: the international reference data is less current than the twice-monthly German price update, so for non-German markets ask about the exact cycle.

I work with the German Drug Pricing module every day. Dapou Pharma is a pharmaceutical wholesaler and parallel distributor and needs access to reliable and up-to-date drug prices. The best thing about pharmazie.com is that you always know which product is marketed in which country. The contact details of drug manufacturers and marketing authorization holders are also very helpful.

I currently use pharmazie.com several times a week to access the ABDA database/German SMPC drug lexicon, the archive of discontinued drugs, and international SMPC drugs. This allows me to stay up to date. I am very satisfied with the platform provided by pharmazie.com, thanks to the team!
We use the ABDA database of German finished medicinal products and international medicinal products to offer our customers, in particular pharmacies and hospitals, international procurement options for medicinal products that are not available locally (in Germany, for example, individual imports in accordance with Section 73.3 of the German Medicinal Products Act (AMG)). Thank you very much for your fast and excellent service!
The use of the ABDA database CAVE and the ABDA database Interactions is very valuable for teaching at the Pharmacological Institute because there is no other complete directory of all drugs approved in Germany. There is also no other program as good and reliable as the Cave and Interaction modules for testing for interactions, which we regularly use as part of the course tasks.
We are a supplier of medical practice supplies and use the platform for the pricing strategy of health insurance companies. We are very satisfied with pharmazie.com, because they are fast, easy to find and all products can be found through the free text search.
