Hello to you all! Who can help me...?
As I have already mentioned on this platform, I may start a new job (i.e. a "New Life") on the island of Santo Alhao in the course of 2024. For how long, remains to be seen...
Although I am going to C.V. at the beginning of April, I couldn't wait to reach out to you guys, regarding my insecurity/lack of any information on the topic of how C.V. handles "foreign" prescribed medication; the point is that my daily medication is subject to very strict regulations and are considered "narcotic medication" (even in Belgium).
1/ Will it be available there?
2/ Can they get to the needed ingredients?
3/ In case the above isn't applicable; how can I ever get the medication to me?
I checked with the Belgian National Post, where I was told that all medications entering the C.V. are stopped at customs. Even painkillers!
If anyone has any experience with this kind of (possibly) practical obstacles, or if any of you can confirm that I needn't worry or rather, that it is not to be obtained on the Islands, I will be immensely grateful for your reaction.
Are the chances of finding an "International" pharmacy (or bigger, broader minded,... pharmacy) higher on one or another island? Which one(s) is/are the more "modern" / "Western"? Apologies for the less ideal choice of words, I mean no offense.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable input!
Warm regards,
Sarah
