E-prescriptions on your phone: how to see your active treatments
Where to check your active electronic prescription medication on your phone, what useful information you will find and how it works outside your region.
In short
- You can see your active electronic prescription treatments in your region's health app or portal, signing in with Cl@ve, a digital certificate or another access system.
- Depending on the region, you will see the medicines prescribed, the date from which you can collect each one, your dispensing history and your pharmaceutical contribution.
- Checking it helps you arrive at the pharmacy knowing what is available and spot treatments you no longer take that are still active.
- With interoperable electronic prescriptions you can collect your medication at pharmacies in other regions by showing your health card, physical or virtual.
Yes, you can check on your phone which medicines are active on your electronic prescription. Each Spanish region has its own health app or portal: there you can see your medication plan, the dates when you can collect each medicine and, in many cases, what has been dispensed to you before.
We explain where to find it, what useful information you will see and how to use it to organise your treatment better, including when you are outside your region.

Can you check your electronic prescription on your phone?
Yes. Regional health services offer apps and personal health folders where you can see your active electronic prescription medication. To sign in you usually need an identification system such as Cl@ve Permanente, a digital certificate or an electronic ID card, or to activate the app at your health centre.
It is a tool designed for you: it does not replace your doctor or pharmacist, but it gives you a clear view of what is prescribed without having to ask for the paper treatment sheet. If you would like to know more about how electronic prescriptions work, read what electronic prescriptions are for.
Which app belongs to your region and what does it show?
Each region has its own and the features vary. Here are some examples based on each service's official information:
| Region | App or portal | What you can see |
|---|---|---|
| Community of Madrid | Tarjeta Sanitaria Virtual and Mi Carpeta de Salud | Active medication with the date from which you can collect it, history for the last 2 years and your pharmaceutical contribution |
| Catalonia | La Meva Salut | Your current Pla de medicació (medication plan), which you can download |
| Valencian Community | GVA +Salut | Prescribed treatments, current treatments document, upcoming dispensing and history |
| Andalusia | ClicSalud+ | The medicines prescribed to you electronically |
If you live in another region, ask at your health centre or look on your health service's website for its official app. Always download it from your phone's official store or from the health service's website. In Madrid, for example, the Tarjeta Sanitaria Virtual app is available from the age of 16.
What useful information will you find and how can you use it?
Checking helps you plan pharmacy visits and make sure your treatment is up to date. Spending five minutes a month looking at it avoids surprises.
- Before going to the pharmacy: check which medicines are available to collect and which are not yet.
- To renew in time: if a long term treatment is about to expire, book an appointment in advance. We explain how in how to renew your prescriptions in time.
- To spot mismatches: compare the list with what you actually take. If a medicine your doctor stopped still appears, or one you take is missing, mention it at your next appointment.
- To know your contribution: some regions show what you have to pay. The pharmaceutical co-payment changed with Royal Decree-law 11/2026, in force since 14 May 2026; we cover it in the new pharmaceutical co-payment.
What happens if you are outside your region?
Thanks to the National Health System's interoperable electronic prescription, you can collect your medication at a pharmacy in another region. You need your individual health card, physical or virtual, and to say which region issued the prescription.
- You do not have to carry your active medication sheet, but the Ministry of Health recommends taking it when you travel in case questions arise about your treatment.
- Without your health card, the pharmacy cannot dispense through this system.
- Members of the civil service mutual schemes MUFACE, MUGEJU and ISFAS who receive public healthcare can use it in all regions.
- According to the Ministry, contribution caps do not apply to these dispensings outside your region; if you pay too much, you can claim a refund in your own region with your receipts.
A practical example: Javier, 55, and his monthly check
Let us take the case of Javier, 55, an engineer in Madrid with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. He takes four medicines and used to go to the pharmacy without really knowing what was available.
- He activates the Tarjeta Sanitaria Virtual with Cl@ve and checks his active medication on the first day of each month.
- He discovers that a stomach protector his doctor stopped months ago is still active, and mentions it at his next appointment so it can be updated.
- Before spending August in Asturias, he checks that his treatments are available and downloads his medication sheet.
- There he collects his medication at a village pharmacy by showing the virtual card on his phone and explaining that the prescription is from Madrid.
With five minutes a month, Javier keeps track of his treatment and avoids wasted trips to the pharmacy.
