You can only ask - if you are living here then you need to legalise your health position without delay.

Go to the 24 hour pharmacy with the box from your existing meds and they will sell it to you. I have done this in the past.
Thanks for your advice

Hi
Both previous advice are good,
I would also recommend that you register with the Local Medico, and they will give you a prescription , which you then take to the pharmacy, and it will be cheaper.
Regardless of whether you are on holiday, or own a holiday home.
Register anyway

I'm on a light dose no medication and my 😘 cal pharmacy dispensed it's equivalent without a script. I'd try that approach. Not all meds ar avbl. Without scripts but a lot are still.

Hi, we go to the pharmacy in Balsicas, near Anais coffee shop. Like someone else suggested I either take a photograph of the empty box or the empty box and they sell it you with no script. Max of 2 boxes. I top up on antibiotics every time I go.

I see you are in Sucina. We just nip into the pharmacy by the lights and ask them for our BP tablets. I think about 3 euros for a months supply. They all speak perfect English. We are registered with the doctors but don't bother with a prescription. I have one of those home testing kits to keep an eye on it.
