I always managed to get my prescriptions filled in Spain. They need the medical name of the ingredients rather than the name they're sold under. I would just bring my old boxes to the GP and they would write up a prescription no problem.
Some of the meds (that require a prescription here) can be bought over the counter in Spain - and at a fraction of the price. Don't know about Portugal.
Got my prescription filled in Spain in March. Got the generic version as well. Came in at a saving of about 60% in cost.
I have a monthly prescription which would cost me 40 euro per month at least in ireland (and thats just for the "generic version"), was in spain last week and picked up a years supply of my meds for 43 euro, plus i didnt need a prescrition. Saved myself about 440 euro.
I dont know why the meds where so cheap there, when i said it to the pharmacist he said that the price in spain isnt normal, i told him the price in ireland isnt normal.
Ok, thanks. So for anyone doing this, any links to suppliers?I don't think it is legal to buy prescription meds over the internet at all. Maybe by fax and post! This was all over the Joe Show on RTE yesterday. Cheaper abroad. By Far...

Don't know about Spain but just ordered some meds off the net that originated in Mumbai and they're costing me 33% of the price charged locally.Does anyone know why exactly medication is so cheap in the likes of Spain?

Is it a tax thing or has it got something to do with generic brands and lapses on patented medication?
Why would you need a prescription from a doc. here to buy a particular medication and be able to buy it 'over-the-counter' in Spain?

Best case you may be buying expensive glucose, chalk or milk tablets, worst case rat poison or something else nasty.... just ordered some meds off the net that originated in Mumbai and they're costing me 33% of the price charged locally.
