In Spain, the retail price (RRP) including VAT for amoxicillin in pharmacies is usually between €2.14 and €7.99, depending on the packaging and size. If the medication contains clavulanic acid, the RRP can rise to around €10.21.
What is the price range for amoxicillin in pharmacies in Spain?
A practical way to estimate the price is to check the PVP with VAT in the Spanish Ministry of Health list, updated on 26 January 2026, which shows common packs and their PVPIVA.
The amount the person pays may not match that RRP if there is a contribution from the NHS or if the prescription is processed under different conditions, but the RRP with VAT is a useful reference for comparing packaging and formats.

|---|---|---|
| Amoxicillin | 250mg/5ml 40ml | 2,14 € |
| Amoxicillin | 500mg 20 capsules | 3,50 € |
| Amoxicillin | 500mg 30 capsules | 4,00 € |
| Amoxicillin | 750mg 30 tablets | 6,01 € |
| Amoxicillin | 1g 20 tablets | 5,34 € |

| Amoxicillin clavicle | 875/125 30 comp | 10,21 € |
Which forms of amoxicillin change the price the most?
The price of amoxicillin at the pharmacy usually varies mainly due to two factors: the format and the size of the package. Oral suspensions tend to be in the lower price range, while larger packages of tablets can increase the total cost.
It's also important to distinguish between amoxicillin alone and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, which is a different combination and usually has a higher retail price. In pharmacies, it's known by its full name and by typical presentations such as 875 mg with 125 mg.
Do you need a prescription to buy amoxicillin in Spain?
Because it is an antibiotic, amoxicillin is normally dispensed with a prescription in Spain, and pharmacies usually request one before supplying it. This supports appropriate use and helps limit antibiotic resistance.
If you have a prescription from another country, the pharmacy can advise you on the active ingredient, but the validity and type of prescription accepted depend on the healthcare system. If you have any doubts, the health center or a local doctor will tell you the correct procedure.
What should you check to avoid confusion at the pharmacy?
Before paying, it's worth checking whether the package contains amoxicillin alone or if it also includes clavulanic acid, as the names can be similar but the price differs. Also, check the quantity and format to compare with the RRP (RRP) and VAT.
If you have a known penicillin allergy or have had previous reactions to antibiotics, the package insert and professional advice are key to avoiding problems. If you experience any symptoms of a reaction, seek medical attention.
