Hi,

Obviously technically you can use your EHIC plus Passport at any Urgencias or GP bur better to take an interpreter. If you have your tablet bottle then take that too.

Or, the Private GP in Centro Commercial, Mojacar. Our daughter in law used him for Diazepam 2mg and it was 25€ fir tge script & pennies from the Pharmacy.

Correct, not OTC.

He speaks English.

Hope that helps,

Dr. Bob and Sandra

Hi.  My husband is on 4 different tablets a day for heart and if we run out while in Moj we just go to chemist with boxes or take the slip we get in his prescription bag with tablets.  Never had a problem.  Hope this helps.  Trudi

Think you will find that psychotropics & heavy analgesics are not OTC. Recently they have stopped antibiotics OTC.

BEST WISHES,

BOB AND SANDRA

You can get many medicines over the counter in Spain.

You have nothing to lose by popping in to a farmacia and asking.

They are always helpful. and will try to understand you even if they do not speak English.

Good luck.
