    Obtaining Anticoagulants from Spanish Pharmacies with a UK Prescription whilst on Camino

    Risky!

    Obtaining Anticoagulants from Spanish Pharmacies with a UK Prescription whilst on Camino

    Thank you so much! I am going to try some of the new generation, blood thinners in tablet form before I leave. However, I’ve never managed to tolerate them in the past. That said, were I to bring syringes or rely upon a UK prescription to replenish my blood thinners from Spanish pharmacies, I...

    Obtaining Anticoagulants from Spanish Pharmacies with a UK Prescription whilst on Camino

    This is mega helpful. However, where I to request anything from Spanish pharmacies, it would be the Clexane or Inhixa enoxaparin sodium syringes.

    Obtaining Anticoagulants from Spanish Pharmacies with a UK Prescription whilst on Camino

    Thank you for such a swift response! Yes, looking at a few options, but I tend to react to them unfortunately. I’m lactose intolerance, but may try Rivaroxaban regardless.

    Obtaining Anticoagulants from Spanish Pharmacies with a UK Prescription whilst on Camino

    Hey everyone, I will hopefully start my camino in late May and, as discussed in THIS post, will be doing so having recently suffered a DVT. This means I will be on anticoagulants, likely injectables, specifically enoxaparin sodium. I hope to walk from SJJP to Muxia, via Finisterre, so would...

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    Thank you so much for all the detailed information. It’s genuinely very helpful. How long after a clot did you start hiking?

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    I so needed to hear this! Thank you! I’m not sure, but I just walked four miles for my blood test without any issue. 16 miles per day is another thing entirely, though.

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    Where you ever concerned about the risk of bleeding whilst in relatively remote areas or the clot becoming dislodged the walking and reaching the chest?

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    Hmm, that’s true. Think I just feel comfortable in the smaller bag to took on the final week of the Camino Portuguese. I’ll look into it. Thank you.

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    No, it doesn’t. I have blood cancer, so once my treatment starts it is uncertain I will once again be well enough to attempt the Camino Frances. That is the cause of my reluctance to give up on this chance to walk the pilgrimage. Carrying my blood thinners will require me to take a larger, less...

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    Hmm, so keep my normal bag with the meds and send ahead anything I need to take out to fit the medication?

    Recent DVT, Camino Frances and reliable way to transport baggage/medication

    Thank you, that's certainly an option. I would need to invest it a larger bag, something I guess that is well worth the effort. I could delay my camino a year but, owing to an underlying condition, I would hate to waste this relative heath, even with a recent DVT.
