The clinical decision is made on an individual basis; Booking a consultation does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued.<\/p>\n<p>If the treatment is indicated, the private electronic prescription is processed through PEM and can be presented at an authorised pharmacy in the Algarve or another area of Portugal. Price and availability depend on each pharmacy, so it is advisable to check stock directly before visiting.<\/p>\n<p>Follow-up can also be organized from the Algarve to review tolerance, adverse effects, evolution and the need to adjust or suspend treatment.
