Farmacia - how can we buy Zytiga (abiraterone) in Tenerife?

Hi Tuna,

Thanks for your question. My name is Matthew, and I work as part of the Online Community Team. We're the team who work on supporting our Online Community to make sure it stays safe and working well.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis.

This is just a short message to let you know that I have moved your post from the 'Ask an Information and Support Adviser' forum over to our Ask a Nurse forum. The Ask a Nurse forum is the best place for questions about diagnosis, treatments, and medications.

A member of our qualified Cancer Information Nurse Specialists will now be about to see you question, and a member of the team will aim to reply to you within 1 to 3 working days. In the meantime, don't forget you can talk to our Macmillan Support Line staff by using our web chat feature. You can read more about here.

Hello Tuna,

Thanks for getting in touch with Macmillan Cancer Support and welcome to our online community.  I’m Linda, one of the nurses from our support line.

It’s understandable that you are looking for information on how to buy Zytiga for your husband but as a UK charity, it is difficult for us to reply in detail to questions about people with cancer who live outside the United Kingdom. This is because there are differences in health services and care in other countries.

These overseas cancer organisations may be able to help and you may also find this information from Cancer Research UK helpful. It explains how to buy medicines in the UK and about other countries regulations.

I hope this information has been helpful.

Best wishes

Linda J. - Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
