Porto to Santiago, Sept 2017
Hi all. Can I walk in to a pharmacy in Portugal and purchase Compeed (stick and plasters)? I am in Canada, if I order it online, it won't arrive here before I depart to Porto.
Thank you.

Hi Tara, yes, every pharmacy has compeed - in all shapes and sizes.
Bom caminho!

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Tara, Compeed is available in any drugstore in Canada. In the same green plastic packaging. It's marketed by Polysporin. I have even seen them at Dollarama.
 
Well that is news to me! Thank you!
They appeared here about 2 years ago, under the Polysporin name. Saves us from running an errand upon arrival. Look for them where bandaids are, normally hangong off one of those hooks.

I went in to 4 different pharmacies today as well as a Dollarama and found nothing!

@TaraCM ,

I was just in a Dollarama and picked up two boxes of Compeeds 5 medium size per box). I would be happy to mail them to you if you have not found some already. If you woud rather pass, don't worry about it, I can always use them in a future Camino.

Send me a PM if you are intersted.
