Are common prescription medications available in Lisbon?
When we asked expats in Lisbon if common prescription medications are available in Lisbon, they wrote...
"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Lisbon. Pharmacies in Lisbon are well-stocked with a wide variety of medications, including both generic and brand-name drugs. Many pharmacies also offer online ordering and delivery services, making it easy to get the medications you need. Additionally, many pharmacies offer discounts for seniors and other groups, making it even more affordable to get the medications you need," remarked another expat who made the move to Lisbon, Portugal.
"Every pharmacy is able to handle your US prescriptions if you bring a request from your US doctor. Pharmacies are usually within 10 mins of most cities and towns and one is always open within 30 mins. Many medications, such as antihistamines and cold, pain and heartburn are available over the pharmacy counter compared to the US. Prices for hypertension meds in the US might cost $300 a month that are $13 for two months here," explained one expat living in Lisbon, Portugal.
