E-prescription transition in Mallorca: patience at the pharmacy — and unanswered questions

Answer

What is the best way to get a paper prescription in Mallorca if the digital system fails?

IB Salut says paper prescriptions remain available in emergencies, but the exact definition of an emergency has not been made clear. If the digital connection fails or you cannot use the app, a doctor or pharmacy may still be able to help with a temporary paper solution. In Mallorca, asking early is important, especially outside normal opening hours.
