Poland

In Poland there are 2 types of drugstores: private (Apteka) and national (Cefarm). In addition, all medical stores are divided into public (open), departmental and hospital. Poland Drugstores are open from 8.00 am to 7.00 pm, but in the big cities there are duty drugstores, which operate around the clock.

In Poland, nearly 99% of pharmacies have manufacturing departments. Often these medicines are cheaper than their analogues of industrial production. Without a prescription you would be able to get only painkillers (analgesics), preparations against a cold, herbal remedies, homeopathic medicines and dietary supplements. For antibiotics, antibacterial, hormones, contraceptives, and other drugs, a prescription is mandatory. Since April 16, 2015 by the European Commission's decision in Polish drugstores allowed to sell without a prescription to persons over 15 years agents of "emergency" birth control (eg "next day pills"). Previously, these medical products were released in Poland only by a medicinal permission. Search for pharmacological products in Poland should not be a problem. In total, the country has about 13.000 pharmacies located everywhere: starting from trading floors ending with small pharmacies in apartment blocks. The most popular preparations which do not need a prescription, you can buy in a supermarket.

Also a convenient option is buying polish medicines via a global network of Internet. This alternative has many convincing advantages. The first plus is, of course, prices. Often the difference can be up to 50 percent compared to conventional pharmacy. The assortment of electronic pharmacies is often more extensive. Price comparison is an additional advantage for online pharmacies. You don’t have to run around the city, to compare prices of tablets, ointments, etc. Questions related to health are rather intimate, and many people have encounter the feeling of discomfort when they needed to loudly explain an apothecary what they were looking for; it becomes doubly uncomfortable when there is a curious queue around.
