You'd need to ask at a pharmacy but you may want to consider other products.
As a mosquito repellent Odomos is quite weak - it's active ingredient is something called Diethyl Benzamide. A more effective product is Diethyl Toluamide (DEET). Odomos only has 12% of the effectiveness of DEET.
Both Odomos and DEET work on the same principle - namely they mask your body's natural odors - but DEET is more effective.
The most effective product of all is something called Neet Deet which is 100% concentration - this can be too powerful for some sensitive skins. There's a whole range of products with 40% and 50% concentrations including pharmacy own brands.
There are natural based mosquito repellents almost all of which ae based on citronella (lemon) - they're rubbish. 2/10 is the highest rating I've seen given to a natural product.

You can buy it over the counter in any medical stores. You can also use odomus liquid which is available everywhere (in departmental stores, medical stores) and the odour is tolerable. It is better than the cream.

Because most insect repellent are ususally quite smelly, why dont you use the patches which you stick on your arm.
