Prescriptions in Fuerteventura

[GLRamsay]

Hi, I currently get free prescriptions for levothyroxine which I will require for life, and I also require annual blood tests. I believe this will change in fuerteventura but would like to know if anyone knows how much this costs? (Approx). We are planning to move to fuerteventura full time so need to know as this could be a deal breaker.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!

I can't help with your specific queries, sorry. But, if you are coming to the island in the near future bring a copy of your prescription with you and take it into a chemist here and ask how much it would cost. Make sure they understand it is just an enquiry, not a wish to purchase at present!

I've no idea of the cost of blood tests done privately - hopefully someone else can answer that.

Edit: just clicked that you are going to need private medical insurance so you need to factor that in and perhaps make enquiries through them about your prescriptions.

You can obtain levotiroxina de sodio from a farmacia , just quote the size from your UK prescription.
Use to be 4.50 per 100 for 75 micrograms.
Private blood test from Euro 40.
I do not know your full situation but if you come to live here and become resident, and join the health system as we have its a no problem situation and for us the service is 100percent A1
