Private Prescription for medication

Private Prescription for medication

Postby The Rower » Thu Oct 07, 2021 5:01 pm

My wife and I are travelling over to Spain this weekend and due to a problem with hospital communication she only has sufficient medication to last 2 months. It is only available with a prescription in the UK and I was wondering if anyone was able to purchase prescription medication in Spain?

Not sure if it would be feasible to get Dr Ballester to write a prescription?

She is just looking for an additional months supply to take her to the 90 day limit.

A doctor will charge you €40-50 just for the consultation to write the script so check out the farmacia first!

Depending on the actual medication, many pharmacies will sell it to you over the counter, particularly if you already have some of the same stuff to show them.

As already stated, El Canal farmacia are very helpful and also the one behind carrefour in Torrevieja.

Good luck

If she has a copy of her prescription any pharmacy should sell them to you against that.

Some of the pharmacies have messaging service or FB pages, El Raso for sure. Get in touch in advance and ask, then you’ll know what you can and can’t get over the counter. They seem to differ between them.

It may be worth checking in advance if you can. My wife had a UK prescription where the item wasn't available in the same format in Spain. Although they could combine equivalent drugs in a different format it will depend if your wife is comfortable with that.

Thank you to everyone who offered advise. We tried our local Farmacia who had one medicine in stock and ordered the other just on request by the name.
