I can get 600mg as well, over the counter in Benijofar, but it's worth Mary1961 pointing out the lower strength because, typically in the UK, we buy them in tabs of 200mg each, hence we generally take 2 tablets.  When we moved to Spain, my husband took some and it didn't occur to him that they would be a different strength - instead of consuming 400mg, he took 1200mg!  I've found that Aspirin and Paracetomol are generally higher strength too, so definitely something for us all to be aware of.

Kind regards,

Kim
