Hi I have been asked by a friend to post him some over the counter meds that he can't get in the UK.  He owns a holiday home in Spain and has used them before to clear a bronchial chest.  I am not sure if I can post them 🤔 or if it's legal

If they are non prescription in UK also then you will probably be OK however, since post is routinely scanned in UK these days, there is no guarantee that they wouldn't be seized anyway.

Hello Patti,

I have sent medication through the post and never had a problem. I would always cut the label from the front and back and put them in the envelope with the meds. Alan.

Hi Patti,

May I ask the name of these pills as they may help my husbands chest problems?

If your friend suffers from COPD, I’d recommend LIGNOSUS    AVAILABLE FROM EBAY.  My husband feels that his breathing has improved enormously.

Hi they are called Cinfanmycol.  Thanks for you reply.  He is now on the mend and swears by these tablets.
