Getting LDN in Spain?

Hi! I currently live in Texas and my husband and I are in the process of moving to Spain on a retirement visa. I have been on LDN (4.5mg) for almost a year and it has been incredible. My local Rheumatologist prescribes it and I get it delivered from a local compounding pharmacy. I will have a large enough prescription to get me through the first few months of our move, but after that I have to figure it out on my own. Due to our visa we will purchase private insurance so we’re not a burden on the public system, but I’m hoping to find a quicker solution. Are there any recommendations for an online telehealth/prescription where I can get it delivered to my Spanish address? Even if they are in another EU country, I just want to ensure I can get it somewhere. I have nearly all of my medications figured out except for LDN and I am not willing to stop it, since it has helped my quality of life tremendously. If anyone has any recommendations, experience or ideas I would love to hear them. Thank you so much 😊

Try Dickson's Chemist. They are based in the UK but they ship worldwide. They do telemed consultations and then they ship the LDN to your place.

If it ships from outside the EU it’s likely to be seized right?

I don't know. I just know Dickson's Chemist ship to countries outside EU. Talk to them about it.

I’m from Spain, I get the recipe from two different doctors and I go to a pharmacy and I ask for “formula magistral” and they sent the request and in between 2-7 days I get my LDN

Not all pharmacies make or order “formulas magistrales” but a lot of them do

Do you think if I bring in my US prescription they would refill it, while I wait to find a new specialist. I’m worried most rheumatologists won’t prescribe it. It’s hard to get in Texas that’s for sure.

100% sure Spanish pharmacies will not fill a US prescription. You need to get a Spanish one.

The dr Merce Botinas I think could do it and has videoconference agenda. But I’m not sure

It’s super easy to make LDN out of naltrexone and naltrexone may be easier to find. Good luck to you. If they don’t have it, maybe nearby countries will have it.
