Purchasing Prescription in EU

My daughter who has Leukaemia wishes to visit her brother who lives in Romania and may need to acquire prescribed drugs while visiting. She would presumably have a prescription with her issued by a registered uk doctor or consultant Is this permitted. How many months drugs can she acquire as presumably she will require a valid time stamped prescription...this would enable her to stay for extended periods.

 

 

  • Hi Adrian and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    If your daughter hasn't done so already, her GP would be the best person to ask about this but I hope the travelling with cancer section of our website and this webpage we have about taking medicines abroad will help answer some of your questions in the meantime.

    You're both very welcome to give our cancer nurses a quick call about this next week as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all they can to help you get the information you need.

    I hope your daughter is able to get this sorted out and that she has a wonderful time in Romania.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
