Meloxicam availability in Spain

[JusWalkin]

Hello all

Has anyone bought Meloxicam, an anti-inflammatory medication, over the counter in Spain?

Thank you

It is available as a generic drug, made by at least 2 Spanish laboratories. In theory, it should be available OTC.

Thank you - good to know I won't have to bring several weeks worth with me

this said, I cannot guarantee you this is widely spread over here, it is made by Spanish labs, but I have not been able to check whether it is OTC or with a prescription. You might need some prescription!

Hola amiga!

my resident chemist just confirmed today that Meloxicam is not available OTC in Spain, and foreign prescriptions are not valid. This said, he also told me he can get the stuff no problem if it is for a friend of mine, but all in all, it is not available over the counter, sorry!

thank you for your fine efforts in tracking down this medication. Looks like my luggage will be a few grams heavier!!
