My Pal Is Out In Spain And Has Had A Fall, Shes Fine But Ina Bit Of Pain, Cracked Rib, My Question For Her Is Can

[alinic]

She buy co codamol, 30/500 over the counter, she is going to send her hubby to chemist, but thought I wld quickly ask for her. thanks

If she has her EHIC card, she should go to A&E, i.m.o.. A broken rib can take more than co-codamol. I had a prescribed cocktail of painkillers when I broke mine.
Sqad will know the answer to your question for sure, but I imagine it can be bought over the counter - antibiotics can be prescribed by a chemist (or they were for me when I needed them, but that was a few years ago).

In the UK 500/30 is only available on prescription.

[Sqad]

I wouldn't ask for co-codamol, as Ibuprofen is prescribed in 600 mgm tablets in Spain and that is a better deal.

Thanks sqad you always come up trumps! Will give her a phone and tell her. Thanks Regards Ali.

and ... codeine is a prescription only medicine in spain
( also widely abused - so if the asker asks for it they will get some very odd looks)

Parathetamol is "acetominophen" - atheto - meeno-fen
Limit 6 g a day ( 1g every four hours)

[Peter Pedant]

oh it is code- ay een
but since they wont give it to you
there is no reason to know how it is pronounced

[jacpinetree17]
