Getting UK prescriptions in Spain

For anything other than normal over the counter medicines, you will need to bring a doctor's prescription to the pharmacy.

So you will need to visit a GP, presumably via your private health insurance. Your insurance provider should be able to advise how you go about this.

It's very unlikely that a Spanish doctor will blindly issue a copy of a UK script but will want to assess you for themselves and prescribe accordingly, the same as would happen if you changed doctors in UK.

Also you'll discover that in many instances medicines commonly prescribed in UK are not available in Spain meaning that a script couldn't be cloned anyway.

If possible I'd try to secure a 3 month supply of your UK medications to tide you over when you arrive.

As an aside, it being pretty fresh out of the box, I'm sure many would be quite interested in hearing of your experiences in acquiring your DN visas.

Unfortunately I have to disagree with you here, Darro. When we arrived several years ago, jumped through all the required hoops and finally went to visit our newly acquired GP, we took all our UK medical records, which we were perfectly willing to have translated professionally. The GP could not have been less interested, and flatly refused them, only being interested in my husband’s list of medications, for which she issued prescription equivalents with no further enquiry. I do speak Spanish to a reasonably high level, so it was not a case of misunderstanding. She has, fortunately, since retired and has been replaced by a much more pro active and younger incumbent.

I have taken empty packets to the Farmacia and just asked for more and paid for them.My wife has an arthritis drug that can only be dispensed in the UK from the hospital.The farmacia are very helpful to dispense and it only costs €1.99.

Looking for a firestick loaded in the Area of Cocentaina Alcoy or surrounding if anyone can help

very interested in this topic, 

My wife has previously had a stroke and now as a result she has developed fibromyalgia, as you can imagine she now has to take a lot of medication, I was wondering how people manage now after brexit.

I am thinking of applying for an Irish (eu) passport as my parents were from Ireland, would this passport allow my wife and I to have free health care if we moved to spain and became residents?
