Is anyone else having difficulty with getting repeat prescriotions for this blood thinner? Our Dr couldnt get computer to comply! Husband needs them ongoing! Dr put some input into computer and told him to try chemist tomorrow but if still refused to go back to her. All very strange!

My prescription for Clopidogrel originated in the UK six years ago. When I visited my Doctor, for the first time in April, he said that he needed authority to prescribe it. He also stated that, in Spain, it’s usually prescribed for a year, two at most. I have the prescription but expect that to be challenged next April.

You can only get Clopidogrel in Spain if it is prescribed by a Cardiologist. If your Centro Salud doctor cannot prescribe it [and ours could not] he made an appointment for us to attend a Cardiologist at Torrevieja Hospital and she prescribed it no problem. Then you can get it at the chemist and repeats from your own doctor at the Salud.

This would explain the situation. Thank you. But doesnt explain why our Dr didnt make my husband an appointment to see the Cardiologist to prescribe it! Sometimes this particular Dr needs to be spoon fed! It wasnt a language problem by way. So now he has to make another appointment to see her and wait for that!

Thanks for your help.

Clopidogrel. Is the gold standard drug used for blood thinning. There are others but not thought to be as effective, and of course Clopidogrel is more expensive.
Just some useless info. Lol
