Thanks MM. When was the last time you bought over the counter? I believe the rules have changed recently.

I didn't think you could now either - was wondering about your question

Thought if I gave you the name of a brand you could try asking around

The rules did change. Now antibiotics can only be sold with a Dr prescription. If you find some pharmacy that sells you antibiotics without make sure that you check the boxes for expiry dates because being illegal i read that some pharmacies are selling like this the unwanted stock. Be careful.

And make sure you get cheapest brand.

This is why antibiotics which didn't need Drs prescription before, we need to even get their permission to get them.

I would like to get Oxytetracycline but have not been able to find it in Tenerife, but my doctor in the uk thinks I should be able to get it. Anyone got any ideas?

It is an antibiotic and as such you will need a doctors prescription.

This is logical because it is a very old antibiotic, as such it will not work for some people that have built up a resistance to it. Also, there are far better broad spectrum antibiotics available these days, so it's best to seek medical advice and a prescription for the condition that you need treating.

I checked with my Dr and he said that you can get it. This is the generic name so a pharmacy should be able to give it you. You'll need a Dr prescription.
If you are around Las Americas came and see us at TEHC The European Health Centre and we will sort this out for you. This is our clinic number: 922716682 We alls speak English.

Pharmacies aren't going to give out antibiotics any more for a number of reasons as earlier mentioned
Overuse
Inappropriate for infection
Allergic reactions
The doctor prescribing would also have to know your medical history and examine you before prescribing otherwise he or the pharmacy could be liable for misdiagnosis or tragic side effects - antibiotic allergies can kill!
