Purchase of insulin in Spain
07/29/2017 6:03 a.m.
Hello!I am a Spanish resident in Lima.Peru and I am close to travel to see the family.
My query is how I can buy an insulin pen and another from Apidra, since I know that the recipe of my doctor in Lima does not serve me to buy them there.
Would you have to pay a consultation with a local endocrine or will I emerge to make me a recipe?
Thank you very much for your answer

Tell your doctor to prescribe you more to buy them in Lima and come with everything ready

Thank you!
The problem is storage.I will make a 20 -day tour of some countries in Europe and from there I just arrived in Spain.I would have to travel with refrigerated insulin until you have to start.To avoid that, I asked how I could get it there.

You have it complicated.You can travel with cold wallets.

Use that cold portfolio, which is going very well.
You can also go to a doctor here and buy it with recipe. Lantus and Apidra also are here in pharmacies, but recipe is needed.

@Regina, no recipe is not necessary, they sell them without any problem but they charge them and they are a paste, around € 90 each.
It happened to me once in the town on vacation did not realize and the box of Lantus stuck to the back of the refrigerator and frozen and went to the doctor there and told me that oranges that had to be my doctorIn Madrid (bad drool of the doctor) and I had to buy it at the pharmacy without problems but they charged it,

Thanks for your answers.Actually what costs is a secondary problem (man! It also matters, but less), the main thing is how I can do to buy them.
It is difficult to have to wear a container with refrigerants while making a tour by.Europe.Only after 21 days I arrive in Spain.
We will see how this matter is resolved.
Thanks a lot

Hi Begoña
What part of Spain do you come?I don't think any we will charge you anything for an insulin pen.

I believe that if you go to any health center they will attend you as a passenger and facilitate the recipe without further ado.Bring a report from your doctor.
