It's all gone electronic very recently, but the "pink" medicine is considered optional in a way. It's mostly QOL-improving stuff like aspirin or ibuprofen. It used to be free, but the decision has been made to further disadvantage the poorest part of society for which 5 € can make quite a difference.

Interesting! Is there a color for medicine that is absolutely necessary? I know that when I was seriously messed up and needed Antibiotics those were put on a pink slip, idk how optional those were :o

I've also seen the green papers, which are for completely self-paid stuff (so like, weird unproven teas and supplements)
