I’ve been living with type 2 diabetes for a few years and recently relocated to Budapest for work
I didn’t expect something assimple as getting my regular medication to become this complicated.
My GP back in theUK sent me an electronic prescription, properly signed and all, but every pharmacy here refused to accept it. They kept saying they only take the original paper version, and even when I printed it, they said it still wasn’t valid.
It’s a bit worrying as I’m running low on my metformin and not sure how to sort this out without going through a local doctor again or worse, flying back to the UK just for a repeat script.
has anyone else living abroad had the same issue?
and if anyone knows of a safe and reliable online pharmacy that accepts electronic prescriptions and delivers within the EU, I’d really appreciate any recommendations
