24h Pharmacies Apteka in Warsaw

Pharmaceuticals

The word for pharmacy in Polish is Apteka.Pharmacies are generally very well stocked but the names of medicines in your home country and in Poland may differ – even if they are produced by the same company. To avoid this problem, make sure you know the generic name of any medicine you take regularly; your doctor may also be able to tell you the names of certain medicines in different countries.

Pharmacies also stock a wide range of homeopathic and other complementary medicines as well as cosmetics. Pharmacists can give advice and treatment for minor ailments/illnesses but prescription drugs can't be purchased without a prescription.

Hi just found this web today.
Any idea if erythromycin medicine is available with same name in Poland ?
Is there any such link where I can check on my regular OTC medicine names from Asea and see their availability / corresponding names in Poland ? Thanks.

Hi, yes you can get it here by the same name check here Erythromycinum
but you will need probably a prescription from the doctor.
