[QUOTE="Former member 104756, post: 1196951"] I can confirm on very recent experience with an anti inflammatory drug. In Australia, you can buy up to 25 mg voltaren tablets over the counter but no higher. In the past, I’ve been able to get 50mg Voltaren over the counter in Spain on the rare occasions when I needed same. One of those occasions arose a few weeks ago - in Spain. I could not buy any level of voltaren tablets without a prescription. I was fortunate to be able to visit a doctor and she prescribed a high dosage and explained that dispensing potential harmful drugs is now much more tightly regulated. Fair enough. 😎 It does remind me of a funny experience many years ago on the Mozarabe. My husband ended up with a foot infection, which he had downplayed until he could do so no longer. We were in the small town of Castro del Rio and there was no doctor available. He hobbled to the small farmacia where we threw ourselves on their mercy. The lady pharmacist was very kind but confirmed she could not give antibiotics without a prescription. I said to my husband - I think you need to take off your shoes and socks and show them. Everyone recoiled in horror and the pharmacist kindly made an exception. 🙏. It was also a good reminder as we usually carry a broad spectrum antibiotic when walking, but had forgotten that time.😞 [/QUOTE]
