Title: HRT in Spain.
Post by: AJW62 on January 29, 2021, 04:31:03 PM

Hi all,
now living I Spain since last summer, I had a radical hysterectomy 20 + years ago at 36, I have had my HRT sent to me from the UK to bridge the gap whilst waiting for medical card.,  I applied last September , :obvs due to Brexit they can no longer be sent. I have enquired at a few chemists , but it would appear my prescribed HRT  is not available here. Can you buy HRT over the counter here and do I need a doctor's prescription? Is it very expensive , I have only a couple of weeks worth of tablets left. Any advice from you will be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks.

Hi!  I think that you can buy over the counter ....... but may need to see a consultant first, can you self refer in Spain and miss out the GP?

I think one member here lived in Spain for a while ............ I'll have a look-C!
