Have you asked a chemist? Most medications are available without a prescription.
Unless you're in receipt of UK state retirement pension and eligible for an S1 from DWP, you won't be able to register with a doctor here.
thanks for your reply . I am a pensioner , what is s1 from dwp

If you're receiving the UK state retirement pension, and have paid enough NI contributions, then DWP can give you a form S1 which enables you to transfer into the Spanish health system. They then register you and you get a permanent SIP card.
Their contact details already appear in this forum - just do a search.
Can I get a S1 form from the post office in UK ,if not how do I contact DWP .this info will help as we are pensioners and moving to Benidorm sometime in May , thanks
