My daughter is visiting soon and she will need a b12 injection while she is here. Can anyone give advice ie where to go and do they supply the injection. She will have a copy of her repeat prescription with her

Very helpful member
First of all consult you local pharmacy, it may well be that it can be supplied without prescription, and they will also tell you who can do the injection.
Cheers, J

The ampoules can be purchased very cheaply over the counter from the farmacia, From memory less than 3€ a pack.
If it’s not covered by her EHIC/GHIC, she may need to contact her travel insurers to ask which clinic to attend.
If she has to pay to get someone to give her the injection then the farmacia will advise her where she can go.

Hi Caz.
There is a private medical centre in Cabo Roig, next to Consum supermarket and above the pharmacy. Get the B12 from the pharmacy then go upstairs to ask for it to be injected. I've no idea how much they will charge, but it surely can't be a lot.
Cheers
