Good of you to bring it to peoples' attention. I wasn't aware of it, but thanks anyway.
However, pharmacies should NOT sell it unless via a prescription. That said, I know some that do! |
Re: Painkillers
A northern European friend has just come of hospital with a prescription for Nolotil!

Doctors can still prescribe it - even to Northern Europeans (it's not just Brits that are affected).

In my experience, many pharmacists have more knowledge of medications than most doctors. The one I go to in Benijofar is particularly good.

Re: Painkillers
The real problem here is with pharmacies selling prescription drugs on demand over the counter!

The over prescribing of prescription meds by doctors is a concern to me. |
Re: Painkillers
Total bollox and false news LOL
Although there are no conclusive studies, many health specialists suspect people from Northern Europe including those of British origin are more at risk to metamizole than people from Spain. |
Re: Painkillers
I'd like to see more clinical evidence on this drug. The problem painkiller in the UK is Tramadol and a lot of GPs still give long term prescriptions to patients and a lot of patients develop problems. Tramadol is very addictive.

Nothing else works. The alternative, they say, is morphine. What can one do? |

You've obviously tried many different medications to keep your pain under control, and you and your doctor have determined that Tramadol is what works for you. By all means discuss any concerns you have about the drug with your doctor, and I'm sure you've already done that. But in the absence of any compelling reason to do differently, if my choice was between taking a prescribed medication that I'd discussed with my doctor and I'd been on for 9 months without any side-effects, or being in constant pain and unable to enjoy life, I know which choice I'd make! Best of luck, severe pain is a bugger of a thing and affects every part of your life - I hope yours resolves soon. |
