Prescriptions on Tour

[Peregrinator]

I would like to know how others deal with their Prescriptions while touring for 90 days in Europe, is it easy or are there problems.

You can ask your doctor for 3 months supply. Also easy to build up a stock by ordering two weeks early 6 weeks after your last prescription, earlier than taht and they will reject it.

Mine gets rejected if i order 1 week in advance.
Clearly states on my patient access repeat prescription section when i can next order.

As above. A bit of stock and ask for 3 months supply and tell them why. No problem last year.

If you can’t get 3 months supply then take your prescription with you, had to do this a few times while in Spain and it’s no problem and quite cheap.

As Lenny and others have said, 3 months is a standard request for people leaving the country for that period of time.

My experience is pharmacists in Spain & Italy fairly relaxed about dispensing prescription only but not so in France.

Quite a few tips here:

Getting prescriptions when away for 3 months +

I believe you can get a maximum of 3 months at a time? How do you manage periods longer than that? You could get them delivered to a friend or relative who posts them on but this poses at least 2 problems a) It is fraud and therefore illegal b) postal systems are perhaps too erratic to arrive...
