‘I stocked up in Spain’

A MOTHER forced to buy her HRT medication in Spain has said it is ‘disgraceful’ women can’t access the correct treatment in the UK.

Tracey Fine, 57, was recently in Spain and bought herself Estradot patches, as well as Oestraclin for her mother.

The mother of two, from Bushey, Hertfordshire, said: ‘They let me buy four tubes in one go. I could go to another chemist down the road and buy another four if I wanted.

‘I’m going again next month so I’ll do the same. I said to my friends that I’m quite happy to bring it back.’

Medication from abroad can have slightly different dosages to brands in the UK.
