Buying GLP-1 medicines in Greece: EOF, prescriptions and travel

Check the product with EOF

EOF, the National Organization for Medicines, is the Greek medicines authority. Use its official medicine information to confirm the product and presentation. Ask a pharmacist to explain the Greek pack and point out the active ingredient, strength and directions. A familiar international brand name settles nothing about local authorisation, indication or availability. An injection entry also says nothing about a newer tablet.

Allow time for a prescription assessment

If your usual prescription cannot be dispensed locally, arrange a clinical review. A pharmacy visit is no guaranteed purchase. Bring your medical history, current medicine list and the details of your last dose. Ask who will provide follow-up and how any dose or product change will reach your usual clinician. Do not start a different medicine because it is the pack on the shelf.

Plan for islands and transfers

If you are visiting islands or moving between several places, check supply and storage before you travel. Ask the pharmacy how to handle your exact product on ferries and transfers. A cooler bag does not guarantee the right conditions, and direct contact with a frozen pack may be unsuitable. Keep the pharmacist's contact details and know how to get clinical advice if delays affect your treatment schedule.

Check payment and import rules at home

If you have no confirmed reimbursement arrangement, ask for the full private price. A Greek pharmacy supply tells you nothing about what you may carry into your home country or send by post. Check the destination's medicine rules before buying a larger quantity, and keep the original packaging and prescription. Another traveller's experience is no guide to the rule for your itinerary.

Before you buy in Greece

Check the current product information with EOF before you buy. Confirm the exact product and indication for Mounjaro, Wegovy injection, Wegovy tablets or Foundayo. In Greece, approval, prescription, payment, stock and personal import permission each need their own answer.

• Ask a clinician in Greece which product suits you and whether your treatment history is enough for an assessment.
• Ask for the complete cost, with consultations, dispensing and delivery, before agreeing to ongoing treatment.
• Keep identifiable packaging, the prescription and the dispensing record. Ask the pharmacist to check any damaged parcel or uncertain storage before you use the medicine.
