Medication

Prescriptions can be expensive. Are you from uk and will you have s1 if taking state pension? If so you normally just pay 10% of the medication cost.

Morning thanks for reply. Yes from the UK I don't know what an s1 is and no pension hoping to work for a few years. 

You will need to look into visa requirements to work here. If you apply for non lucrative visa which isn't cheap for residencia you cannot work. S1 is if you are claiming state pension from uk.

Private healthcare in the 1st year is a must if not retired and cost depends on your pre existing medical conditions which you must disclose 

Wine is cheap here 😆 

😂 ok thank you we know about the wine we were frequent visitor's to Spain pre covid. Thanks for reply we have a lot to look in to do you know if doctors in Spain can access English medical records?

I would suggest getting summaries from your gp in the uk

Ok thank you. Sorry about all the questions I've been offered a permanent job and never thought about medication I will just have to abuse the NHS until sorted. My friend moves over next week so I'll have an inside man so to speak. Thank you again 👍

If you have a permanent job with a contract you would need a working Visa

With contacted employment you will be paying into the system therefore you will be entitled to Spanish healthcare.

Brilliant thank you 👍

Neil to go back to your original question I buy mine from the Farmacia. Ramipril (I know your not taking but of the same family) is the most expensive all others are around €3.00 . The Farmicia on Camposol A is the most expensive, there are cheaper and friendlier places around Mazarrón. Before anyone asks I’m waiting for S1 to be sorted.
