MEDICATION IN CYPRUS

[ROXYANGELO]

Good Afternoon, We are coming over in the New Year however I need to know about medication. Can you get simvastatin over the counter or through the doctors et. TIA Shaun

[Uncle D]

If they dont have it they will have similar under a different brand name, just take your box to the pharmacy when you come over

[trevnhil]

I take Atorvastatin and that is readily available
I have just looked on the government list and Simvastatin is available in 10mg 20mg or 30mg

I get it through the doctor. I would not take medication without doctor's advice.

[ROXYANGELO]

anybody know what price it is over the counter or prescription

[LouiseCastricum]

It's on the list Trev included in his post.

Roxyangelo if you are not in the Cyprus NHS / Gesy system then you would have to pay to see a GP for a prescription. However you don't say whether 'coming over in the New Year' is a holiday or a permenant move..

Thanks for that list. What a great help. Much appreciated. Potentially we may have a job . On our final interviews in January. If successful we will be in the system. Again thanks for all your help. Our doctors in England will only give us 3 month. Last thing is flying back for them etc.

This is a better list, as you can search it:

https://www.paphoslife.com/med_prices

I have updated it to the latest data too.


Note that the prices shown are the maximum you should be charged.

Dominic. When I click the link I just get the medication starting with 'A' And even that is overwritten with about 6 or 8 photographs from WHAT'S NEW ON PAPHOS LIFE ???
Maybe it is just at my end ??

[Dominic]

The list is paginated. At the top there are NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons, which go through the various pages. There is also a search box, to the right of those buttons. If you type the name or active ingredient in there it filters the list for you.

[trevnhil]

I have tried the forward and backward buttons, and yes it goes to different medications. But they are all overwritten with 8 pictures. As I said maybe just at my end

[Dominic]

This should help:

Did you see my picture about the buttons, or is it something more fundamental than that?

[trevnhil]

I wish I could do a screen shot Dominic, but I can't.. I get the page you have shown, and the search and buttons work ... BUT every search, or page is over written by 8 photographs.... Christmas light, villages, storms, and Snow etc ....

Thanks Austin 7 at least it is not just me

Maybe its device, browser or OS related, on OSX and Safari the link opens perfectly and I see the same image as Dominiuc posted above.

[trevnhil]

Ah.... I have found the answer... or cure.... Use the scroll wheel and reduce the size of the page...
Then the pics disappear

[Dominic]

Ah do you use magnification? What settings are you using?

[Dominic]

I've just tried zooming to 200% on Chrome. It worked fine. So please let me know your browser and operating system.

[trevnhil]

I normally use 150% in Paphos life
