Hi there,

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.

Best of luck with the move!
