I am a bit reluctant to actually go to the medical centre at the moment as I’m not unwell and don’t want to waste anyone’s time especially during this time.

If it's a prescription drug you will only be able to get it with a prescription which means you need to see a doctor. Lots of the doctors are doing video or telephone consults.

Depending on where you are, to make an appointment you call (for me it is 955 545 060) or use the app, mine is “salud responde.”

When you are called back by a doctor, they will decide what action to take.

You make appointment with medical centre.   Take something and meds from Uk.  They will write you a prescription that goes on your medical card then collect from chemist.
