FAQ
What can a Spanish pharmacist deal with?
A great deal. Pharmacists here are trained to advise and to supply many things that would need a prescription elsewhere, so for a burn, a bite, an upset stomach or an infection the pharmacy is the right first stop.
Do I need a prescription?
For controlled and prescription-only medicines, yes. For much of what a holiday actually produces, no. Explaining the problem at the counter is the fastest route to the answer.
What else does this pharmacy sell?
Optical products, orthopaedic items and veterinary supplies alongside the usual range, which covers several unrelated problems in one visit.
How do I find a pharmacy that is open?
Look for the green cross. Every Spanish municipality operates a rota of farmacias de guardia covering nights and holidays, and the rota is posted in the window of every closed pharmacy.
Is medication expensive here?
Generally cheaper than in Britain or northern Europe for over-the-counter items. Prescription pricing depends on residency and cover, which a visitor should ask about at the counter.
Can I get a European health card accepted?
The card covers state healthcare rather than pharmacy purchases. For a pharmacy transaction you are usually paying, and the amounts involved are small.
