| If any of you think of heading to Spain for a few months and are like us and can only get 3 months supply at once of your own doctor do not worry. One of Lynda's drug is Methotrexate which I believe is a controlled drug and we have just walked into the local Pharmacy and picked it up with no questions asked.
I believe this is the norm in Spain for any of your medication but as a precaution bring your pescription copy with you and of course you have to pay but it appears reasonably cheap.
I believe in France it is much more difficult and you would have to see a doctor first. Not sure about Portugal but will find out after Christmas | |

| I managed to get statins in France after I showed my prescription but didn't need to see the Doctor. | |

| I managed to get statins in Calais about 3 years ago without showing a prescription. | |

Perhaps you mean with NO concerns. | |
