Hi,
I'm running very low on a prescribed medication and won't be returning home until the 31st August. Is there any pharmacies in the Orihelua area that would prescribe my medication if I brought in the medication and identification to prove its mine would it be possible.
Many Thanks..
Most pharmacies will sell common medicines over the counter either outright or on production of an empty box.
If you try which won't just try the next one.
Note not all UK medicines have direct equivalents in Spain so be very careful if offered alternatives.

Most medications can be purchased over the counter in Spain. Just go into any farmacia and show them what you require. If by some chance, you need to have them prescribed by a doctor they’ll point you in the right direction.
You’ll pay the full cost of the medication even if they’re prescribed by a doctor.
