💡 Explanation
You can buy medicines at the pharmacy. Some medicines are cheaper if you have diagnosed diseases (blue prescription). Some medicines you can buy freely, while others require a prescription (note) from your doctor to buy.
Pharmacies are not state-owned, and there are many different pharmacy chains. You can decide which pharmacy you want to shop at yourself.
Most pharmacies also sell cosmetics, sunscreen, and can perform simple tests such as blood pressure measurement and flu vaccination.
