Title: Prescriptions
Post by: Roscoe on 14 May, 2019, 06:06:37 pm

Did the monthly run today and one is out of stock and no sign of it coming soon.  They told me that every day they get a list of drugs which are unavailable.  Apparently the pharmaceutical companies are selling outside Spain because they make more money.  Tomorrow I will have to trail around Albox to see if any Farmacias have got this particular one.  :sad:

You seem to have terrible bad luck with medicines Roscoe!  We have had no problems in Arboleas with alternatives to medicines my OH has been taking for years and also no problems with buying paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Just recently I have been into my local in Purchena and they did not have what was on my card.  I do hope last week's one is there tomorrow.  They also keep changing brand on some.
