Antibiotics;

A straight answer proving legality about two-side´s of the same story.

A) No you can not legally buy antibiotics (over the pharmacist or counter in Spain) without receta.

B) But we all know we can.

sue8, That sound´s like about it! That´s how the system works. A Spanish friend explains one in five will. That´s how legality moves in strange ways, as many will mention. Anyway, hope you "feel" better!

For definite Campoamor pharmacy by roundabout that is where I got mine and saved me getting worse with my virus. My friend never did and had her virus for 4 weeks.
