Buying Medicines in Egypt

 Buying medicines in Egypt
One of the most popular purchases among vacationers in Egypt is local medicines. Experienced tourists during each regular trip visit pharmacies and buy medicines, some for themselves, and some at the request of relatives and friends. The fact is that medicines in Egypt are distinguished by a very low price, sometimes several times lower than at home. The reason is that this area is strictly regulated by the state in order to ensure the availability of medicines for the population, pharmacies are sold at fixed prices by the manufacturer, and speculation on the prices of medicines is prohibited. Well, here you can also buy prescription drugs for other countries without a prescription.
Egyptian medicines are of the highest quality.
How to choose a pharmacy to buy medicines?
It is better to choose a large network pharmacy for the following reasons.
Large pharmacies have pharmacists who can recommend something to you upon request or find a replacement for a group of drugs. At the same time, ordinary sellers, not specialists, can work in small pharmacies, that will offer anything inappropriate to all your questions.
Despite strict regulations and fixed prices, which are indicated on the boxes by manufacturers, small pharmacies still manage to swindle tourists. To do this, they erase information about the price on the boxes, name the price for the medicine in dollars at an unfavorable exchange rate for the buyer, or simply use the fact that tourists cannot find and read prices.
The conditions for storing medicines in small pharmacies are not respected: they may not have a refrigerator, and boxes of medicines lie in the heat right under the sun.
