Anyway, I am moving to Gdansk in a few days, and I am just wondering about the situation there. Do all the meds require a prescription in Poland? Can someone please tell me what meds can be bought without a prescription? I am not asking about something in particular, but I would really like to be able to buy some allergy or fever meds without seeing a doctor first. And what about the pain killers?
You can buy many basic drugs
without prescription. For example:
- painkillers/against fever (aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen)
- against stomach ulcer/pain (omeprazole)
- against allergy (many different anti-histamines)
- sprays to clear your nose when you have a cold
- etc...
