Medicate me

Posted by Staff in Health, Tip of the Week

When in Europe if you are not feeling well, don’t be afraid to pop into a pharmacy to get medicated. 

Unlike the US, pharmacists in Europe have the authority to give you medication based on the symptoms you have.  No need to find a doctor if all you need are antibiotics.

Plus, all drugs are very inexpensive since the government subsidizes the medication…..and foreigners get to take advantage of the subsidy as well!

All pharmacy’s in Europe are easy to find as they have a glowing ‘Las Vegas’ style green cross (more like a plus sign) above their doors.  

And for those afraid of speaking another language, don’t fear as many pharmacist speak english or can direct you to another pharmacy that does.
