What is the price of Hidroferol at the pharmacy?

When looking up the price of Hidroferol, it's important to distinguish between capsules and oral solution. In Spain, Hidroferol 0.266 mg soft capsules (5 units) are priced at €6.56, a box of 10 capsules at €13.11, and the oral solution (10 drinkable ampoules) at €10.32.

If you have already seen other forms of calcifediol, it helps to check that Hidroferol is a prescription medicine and not just any over the counter vitamin.
