Compeed in Portugal?

Time of past OR future Camino
Porto to Santiago, Sept 2017
Hi all. Can I walk in to a pharmacy in Portugal and purchase Compeed (stick and plasters)? I am in Canada, if I order it online, it won't arrive here before I depart to Porto.
Thank you.
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Hi Tara, yes, every pharmacy has compeed - in all shapes and sizes.
Bom caminho!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Tara, Compeed is available in any drugstore in Canada. In the same green plastic packaging. It's marketed by Polysporin. I have even seen them at Dollarama.
 
Well that is news to me! Thank you!

They appeared here about 2 years ago, under the Polysporin name. Saves us from running an errand upon arrival. Look for them where bandaids are, normally hangong off one of those hooks.

I just found out they're available in the States now as well. That is great news.

@TaraCM ,

I was just in a Dollarama and picked up two boxes of Compeeds 5 medium size per box). I would be happy to mail them to you if you have not found some already. If you woud rather pass, don't worry about it, I can always use them in a future Camino.

Send me a PM if you are intersted.
