Does anyone know if the bag transport companies could keep & maintain a refrigerated drug & deliver it every 7 days?

Not a service I’ve seen offered on any of the common providers websites. I’d think the logistics are way beyond anything they could offer. They mostly use “one-hop” drivers between the common stages and have total distance limits. I can’t see how they could maintain medical standard refrigeration and then deliver to the far end of a seven day hop.

Depending on the medication you may do better to research fulfilling a prescription at appropriate intervals.

There are several threads on traveling / obtaining insulin en route and, as I recall, other medications requiring specific storages.

I don’t think it’s a responsibility the carriers are prepared to accept.

Edit: good luck!
 
Catagorically, no.

It’s a question which has been posed several times before - the follow-up being ‘is there a suitable refrigerated container I can carry’ to which, regrettably the answer has usually been ‘no’ - although I recall someone came up with a double-flask which could be topped up with ice.

You could conceivably buy a cool-box and have it transported; but it would be at your risk.

If it’s a commonly available medicine you need, you might look at the possibility of having a prescription filled in Spain: in which case I’d seek advice from your embassy, not a random poster on here.

You may well be surprised by the cost of medicine in Europe compared to the US.
 
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.
All4Family has a potable med cooler. It can be plugged in at night etc. And has a cool pack for walking. I bought one, but have never used it.
