Show answer and explanation
✓ En la farmacia
Prescription medicines are bought at the pharmacy. The doctor gives you the prescription, nowadays almost always electronic, and with the tarjeta sanitaria (health card) the pharmacies can read it. Medicines are not sold at the hospital or the centro de salud (health centre). Some pharmacies open 24 hours, or are on duty in turns.
