The clinic mentioned above is the International Health Centre. Currently you must make an appointment in advance, there are no walk ups. They are also keeping limited hours. The cost of the prescription at the farmacy will be in addition to the €50 or €60 appointment at the clinic. http://internationalhealthcentres.com/en/" rel="nofollow - https://internationalhealthcentres.com/en/ There are others around town. If you go to the local health centre (state) be prepared for a wait of several hours to be seen. Last time I went past there was a queue stretching outside the door. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

It depends what medication its for . I once forgot to bring my Levothyroxine with me which needs a prescription in the UK but managed to get it at the pharmacy just past the crossroads going to the top half of the strip without a prescription, and it wasn't overly expensive to buy over the counter. ------------- Polli the dancing cat strikes again. |

| My medicines that I need prescription for here in Ireland can be purchased across the counter in Albufeira without prescription. I just give them the names of the tablets/creams. The cost is much less than here in Ireland. Approximately half the price. I usually go to the pharmacy across from Modello or the one on Ave. Liberdade. Both most helpful. |
