Hello

How long is a prescription valid in Spain? Prescription would be written in another EU country.

Thanks

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

When I got a prescription here in Latvia it had an expiry date printed on it. It might depend on the particular prescription. I had a prescription for a year's supply of medication and it was valid for year.
