Hi there

Can anyone tell me the situation with medication please. Do you need to pay for it. I have an under active thyroid and have free prescriptions here in Scotland as I'm on a lifetime register and wonder how that works over in spain. Any help is much appreciated 

Thanks

Hi, I also have an under active thyroid and take levothyroxine 100 mg.

I have a prescription in uk but not necessary here in Spain.

You can buy levothyroxine over the counter here without a prescription. 

I pay around €4 for a box of 100. 

Hope this helps if you need any more information please as.

Hi 

Many thanks for this information. I take 125mg. I also take omeprazole for a reflux and wonder if this is available over the counter too 

Thanks a lot

Hi, I recognise it’s a long while since this was posted, but is it still that Thyroxine / Levothyroxine can be bought over the counter? I take 150 mcg daily and wondered how easy it would be to obtain.

I’m finally moving early next week to PdM so will I need to register with a dr before I can buy them? (I have health insurance just never got round to the dr part!)

No. Just walk into the farmacia and Show them the this and they'll give you the Spanish equivalent.
