Can I Buy Diclofenic over the counter?
Can I Buy Diclofenic over the counter?
by EnglishRose » Sun Jul 09, 2017 7:53 pm
Hi everyone,
I have a couple of questions and am hoping that some of you will be able to help me out with the answers.
Is there a Spanish (or cheaper) equivalent to Voltarol 75mg SR tablets, and what name do they go by?
Will I be able to buy these diclofenac tablets over the counter in a pharmacy or would I need a prescription?
If I can buy them, what would I be looking to pay?
Thanks very much for any help/advice you can offer

Diclofenac is the generic name for Valtarol you used to be able to get them for around 4 euros, not sure if you still can just ask at the farmacy.
You can buy Meloxicam which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) see information link below.
(this can also be used for dogs but you would have to ask the vet for dosage it is dependant on weight)

We have bought Diclofenaco 50mg over the counter at pharmacy's over the years, without any problems whatsoever. The generic tablets are inexpensive.
They are available as either standard tablets (comprimidos) or as soluble (comprimidos dispersable). The soluble type are supposed to cause less stomach problems but they do taste horrible. If we use these we usually have a glass of juice to drink afterwards to take away the taste.
As with all OTC medicines that you can buy here, which would be POM in the UK please be very careful not to the exceed the dose that was prescribed in UK. If you need any more advice, ask to speak to the pharmacist. Most speak good English and are very helpful. The chap in the pharmacy next to Consum and opposite the old LIDL is especially helpful.

You can buy Voltarol from the Farmacia in Canal Road, opposite the playpark by Gama supermarket.
