Using a private e-prescription in Spain
REMPe prescriptions, pharmacies and GLP-1 availability
When a doctor approves treatment, the REMPe prescription is sent by email with a QR code. Show the code at a licensed pharmacy, where it is validated and scanned for dispensing. The pharmacy controls dispensing and stock; the clinic cannot guarantee availability.

Call 112 immediately for breathing difficulty, rapid swelling of the face or throat, a sudden voice change, widespread hives or itching, marked light-headedness, collapse or another possible severe allergic reaction.

Common questions
REMPe prescriptions, pharmacies and GLP-1 availability: questions
Can I show the QR code on my phone?
Yes. Keep the complete email and QR code available; the pharmacy may also request identification.
Can I use the prescription throughout Spain?
REMPe states that its prescriptions can be dispensed in pharmacies throughout Spain. Validation, the prescribed quantity, the pharmacy’s dispensing decision and stock still apply.
What if I lose the email?
Contact the clinic securely so the prescription details can be checked. Do not edit, recreate or use another person’s QR code.
Can the clinic reserve stock?
No. Pharmacies control their own stock and dispensing. Contact pharmacies directly about availability.
Can I use the same QR code more than once?
A QR code can only authorise the quantity and schedule prescribed. Each dispensing is recorded by the pharmacy, and it cannot be used to obtain more medicine than authorised.
Can I collect several months before travelling?
Only when clinically appropriate and within the quantity and timing authorised on the prescription. Discuss travel plans with the prescriber in advance and confirm stock with the pharmacy.
Can I edit the QR if another strength is in stock?
No. Contact the prescriber. Do not combine strengths, split doses, alter the QR code or switch products without medical review.
What should I take to the pharmacy?
Take the complete prescription email or app record, the readable QR code and identification. The pharmacy may ask for further information before dispensing.
