Hi Folks,

Maybe a silly question but is the medication in Spain different to here?

I bought a drug which is prescribed only in the uk over the counter in Spain.

Let’s just say I’m

I don't think anyone knows exactly what the rules are, or they know but some don't give a shit.

In some pharmacy's they will, for example, sell antibiotics over the counter, others will ask for a prescription.

Mrs H takes medication which is prescription only in Germany, but here we've always got it over the counter.

This trip we went to the usual pharmacy and they asked for prescription, but went to another down the road and got it without a problem

It really is about as clear as mud.

I’m asthmatic. Asthma medication is the same in Spain as it is over the U.K. main difference it’s sold over the counter and about €8 cheaper than a U.K. prescription!

Active ingredient is the same but it might have a different name. Look at the vademécum to see correspondence and milligrams.

Medicines in my country are much cheaper and you might not need any GP prescription in the Pharmacy

It also very much depends what region that you are buying in, some things that you can buy without prescription in Murcia region you cannot in Andalusia.

Yes very true but, as above, it can also vary from one pharmacy to another.

If you get refused at one don't give up, the next one could easily sell you what you want.

We get that regularly here.
