Las Palmas Obtaining prescription medications for boat medical kit

[Munoz]

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) getting ready to cross over to the Caribbean and I'd like to upgrade to my rather basic medical kit on board. e.g. prescription anti-bacterials, anti-fungals and painkillers.

While I realize this isn't the best of time to be pestering the medical profession with a rather trivial matter, can anyone recommend a doctor that routinely does these kind of prescriptions for passing boats. Any other suggestions as to local sources/pharmacies would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Manu

this might be too late for you ,I explained the situation to a local pharmacy in Laspalmas and showed my boat papers etc . They provided quiet a range of stuff including Epipens, antibiotics etc , no prescription
