So, I go to drugstores in countries I visit. You can learn a good deal about the culture there. I also need something from time to time. Make sure when going to Europe that you take your own Tylenol as it is very expensive in places. But, mostly the things you need are reasonable.
As a warning: before you get too far away from the drugstore, write what it is on the box. The alternative is getting home and not having a clue what you have. The examples are above. The nice red box is one that I got in Slovakia (Bratislava). I went into a very nice drugstore and ordered like three things I was low on. This is not a prescription, but I don't remember what it is and the writing on the box doesn't help me. The one on the bottom is probably like Mucinex in the USA, but I am not sure. I got it at an Urgent Care in Munich for a sinus infection. I was two days from a 12 hour flight home and I needed an antibiotic. I got that. I did not open this box. I wish I had written on it dosage or name.
