Thanks for your response. That's encouraging news... May I be so bold to ask what it was? I'm only asking to see if it's similar to what I take. I take a calcium channel blocker for mild hypertension. Thanks again.I was never asked for a prescription for my heart medication in Spain, I offered it once but was told it was not necessary.
Here is one medicine to be careful of, ibuprofen. The normal dosage in spain for adult is 1000mg, and for children is 600 mg. well, in ireland and the uk, the normal dosage is 200 mg. i was advised by doctors not to take more than necessary as it can cause internal bleeding. So break the tablet up into quarters.
Thanks so much for the info. I appreciate it.As far as i know, you do not need a prescription to buy generic sudafed in spain. Ask for pseudoefedina at the pharmacies or show them the word. This is the generic name for sudafed in spain and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
As to lactaid tablets, i do not think you can get them in spain or france. However you can buy the lactaid brand of lactose-free dairy products.
The only way you can do is to bring enough lactaid tablets from the us to spain on your camino.
Good luck and buen camino.

I think that it is the dosage that is important rather than the mg of the tablets themselves. In the UK as piogaw says the 'normal' dosage is 200mg up to 3 or 4 times per day (max 800mg in 24 hours). However the pharmacy has provided me with 'Pharmacy strength' 400mg which I can take 3 times per day - without other painkillers such as Aspirin as they are similar. This means a total 1200mg in 24 hours, with food, no alcohol and short term only. (This was post minor surgery, not for walking the Camino) I wonder what the daily dosage is for the Spanish tablets. They could well be meant as 1 per day (24 hours).In Spain Ibuprofino is available in tablets of 200mgs, 400 mgs and 600 mgs
