Pharmacies in Fuerteventura, as in the rest of Spain, often have clear signage and are located in convenient areas such as city centers, shopping districts, and near medical facilities.

Antibiotic Policy in Spain

In Spain, including Fuerteventura, pharmacists are not allowed to sell antibiotics over the counter. Antibiotics require a prescription from a licensed medical professional. This regulation is part of Spain’s efforts to combat antibiotic resistance and ensure that antibiotics are used responsibly and only when medically necessary. Pharmacies adhere strictly to this policy, and customers seeking antibiotics without a valid prescription will be advised to consult a healthcare provider.
