Hi there, I saw a Spanish doctor in May he prescribed a treatment which my French doctor has also approved of. As we're heading back to Spain end of the month, I was wondering whether the pharmacy would accept my French prescription? the reason why I'm asking is because the same medication is available in Spain at twice the size of it sold in France... So I'd have enough medication for quite some time.

Thanks for any advice on this!

Yes , there will be no problem with your prescription. Just take it to a pharmacy and they will accept it .

Thanks very much Eileen useful to know as a bit easier than carrying liquid meds on the plane! I'll call our local pharmacy there (with my bad Spanish) just to confrm. They were very helpful last time! thanks a lot
