German Prescriptions in Mallorca: When the Paper Isn't Enough

Answer

Can I use a German prescription at a pharmacy in Mallorca?

In theory, EU prescriptions can be used across borders, but in Mallorca that does not always work in practice. Pharmacies may need clear information about the active ingredient, dosage and the prescribing doctor, and some will still ask for a Spanish prescription. For regular medication, it is wise to check with the pharmacy first before relying on a prescription from Germany.
