Paphos Life

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

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

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.

anybody know what price it is over the counter or prescription

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:

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 ??

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.

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

This should help:
 

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

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.

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

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

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

I normally use 150% in Paphos life
