Overview
If you take regular medication for a chronic condition (blood pressure, cholesterol, asthma, contraception, thyroid, etc.) and you're running out while in Portugal, we can help you get a renewal so your treatment isn't interrupted. The doctor will review your current medication renewal and your condition to issue a Portuguese medication renewal valid in any local pharmacy.
Common symptoms
- Running low on a regular medication
- Forgot or lost your medication renewal at home
- Need a Portuguese-format medication renewal to buy here
When to seek care urgently
- Don't stop your medication early — book before you run out
- Bring details of your current treatment (name, dose, frequency)
- Some medications (e.g. controlled substances) cannot be renewed online
How we can help
The doctor will review your medical history and current medication renewal, confirm it's safe to continue, and issue a renewed medication renewal. You'll receive it digitally and can pick the medication up at any pharmacy in Portugal.
