How would I ask for denture fixative powder in a Spanish pharmacy?

[Stephen]

I got a new bridge fitted two days before I left on my Camino. It didn't seem right at the time but the dentist said I'd get used to it. I didn't as it was cutting into my gums so I went with the old one. The trouble now is my mouth gets so dry as I walk it's sometimes loose. I know there's powder you sprinkle on dentures which helps hold them in place. But I've no idea of its name in Spanish.

Adhesivo en polvo para dentaduras postizas or shorter Polvo adhesivo (point to teeth). Common trademark in Europe is Corega. Buen Camino, SY

Thank you, SYates, for your prompt reply.

I had some Spanish but found that English was spoken in many of the pharmacies. They were all very helpful.

Indeed; pharmacies offer much more than medecine!

Walking into Molinaseca early on a frosty Sunday morning November 2014 I met another woman pilgrim who was worried since she had run out of funds. Upon arrival in town all appeared closed as we searched high and low for either an ATM or for someone to ask; nada.

Luckily one pharmacy was open 7/7 and the multi lingual pharmacist directed us to the village ATM hidden on the elementary school facade! Her gentle kindness will be long remembered.

If you have a smartphone or tablet you can download an english /spanish translate app----free in google----. You type or speak the english phrase or word and the spanish answer will print and speak the spanish. This can avoid frustration in an emergency. Ultreia
