Can I buy my meds in the pharmacy?

Hi I just got here in Barcelona and I'm not registered in our padron yet. I need to buy my maintenance meds. I have a prescription with me. Will the pharmacy sell me my prescribed meds? It's okay if it's not discounted.

Special medication you mean it's prescribed to him?

Yep :)

but i would definitely suggest going to the pharmacy and asking. from my experience, theres usually a few that are nearby
