Many Ukrainians who move to Spain face a problem: it is impossible to find familiar medicines from Ukraine in local pharmacies.

To make your search easier, we have collected list of analogues of Ukrainian medicines in Spain<\/strong> \u2014 from cold and cough medicines to allergy, stomach upset, and pain relief. In any case, we do not give recommendations on taking appropriate medications and do not bear any responsibility for this.<\/strong>, but maybe this entry will be useful to someone and you will be able to easily explain to the doctor or pharmacist which drug you want to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
