When the idea arises of "taking advantage of the trip" or going from pharmacy to pharmacy to get Ozempic without supervision, the answer is clear: it cannot be done.
This medication requires a prescription and its dispensing without one is prohibited in Spain. This is the official classification of the Drug Information Center of the AEMPS.
What does Spanish law say about the Ozempic prescription?
It requires a prescription and prohibits dispensing it without one. Royal Decree 1718/2010 regulates the medical prescription and the dispensing order, while the Law of Guarantees (Royal Legislative Decree 1/2015) underpins the regime for the use and control of medicines.
Taken together, these two regulations legally prohibit the sale of Ozempic without a prescription in pharmacies or online. Furthermore, the CIMA public information sheet lists it as a "prescription-only medication.".
What dangers exist if I buy it illegally?
The main risk is receiving a counterfeit or illegal product (e.g., semaglutide of unknown origin), with incorrect labeling, wrong doses, and serious adverse effects.
The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) and European regulators have warned of the rise of GLP-1 analogues sold on fraudulent websites and social networks; they do not meet quality, safety and efficacy standards.
Meanwhile, the FDA has detected counterfeit Ozempic in circulation. Purchasing it outside of legal channels leaves patients without guarantees or pharmacovigilance.
What is the final verdict?
NO: Ozempic cannot be purchased without a prescription in Spain. If prescribed by your doctor, you must follow the product information: typical starting dose 0.25 mg once a week, with titration based on clinical guidelines, and always under professional supervision.
If you have a prescription, you can get Ozempic at pharmacies in Spain. Keep in mind that the price of Ozempic may vary depending on your co-payment bracket. Avoid online offers or intermediaries; the safe route is a medical consultation and an authorised pharmacy.
