Are common prescription medications available in Cascais?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Cascais if common prescription medications are available in Cascais, they wrote...

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Cascais. Pharmacies in the area carry a wide variety of medications, including those for common ailments such as colds, allergies, and pain relief. Many pharmacies also offer specialized medications for more serious conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. In addition, some pharmacies offer home delivery services for those who are unable to visit the store in person," remarked another expat who made the move to Cascais, Portugal.

"Pharmacies are numerous in each major city and at least one exists in the smaller towns. Using a list from our US physicians of regularly taken medications, the pharmacies here continue to dispense this medication. Costs are at least one half less than in the US, and with some scrips can be about a tenth of the cost in the US. Pharmacists will also listen to customer health complaints and offer medication that would have required a doctor visit in the US, such as some allergy medications, cold, muscle pain, stomach ailments, headaches," explained one expat living in Cascais, Portugal.
