hi i am taking rituximab for rheumatoid arthritis and was wondering if this is available in portugal and also how this would affect me if we moved to portugal from the uk after the brexit any info would be appreciated
I can't find any specific information about rituximab in Portugal in particular, but it does appear on the World Health Organization's official list of essential medicines here so I would think you should be able to get it there. Perhaps your current doctor can also advise you on this?
The Expat Arrivals Healthcare in Portugal page has some general information on how the system works, including pharmacies and prescriptions.
