Drugstores

German Pharmacy Vs Drug Store

The first thing you will notice about the German pharmacy or Apotheke, is that they are not like the drugstores back home. They do not sell the latest in video technologies or the brand new-up-to-date carpet cleaner. No. German pharmacies sell medications and only medications.



Apotheken (plural for Apotheke) sell prescription drugs and over the counter medications, although you will see much of the "over-the-counter" drugs in sealed display cases. You have to ask the pharmacist for what you want, you can not pick it up for yourself. Even Aspirin.
In every street, you will find a pharmacy, named by the name of the street itself.  I will list out few links below. .
 1. Europe Apotheke
 2.Löwen Apotheke
 3.Kleefelder Apotheke
 4.Delfin Apotheke
 5.Apotheke in Marktkauf
 6. Flora Apotheke
 7.Leibniz Apotheke


 Which, by the way, you can also find in what is called a Drogerie, or Drugstor, not to be confused with the Pharmacy. Drogeries don't really have an equivalent in other countries.
The German Drugstore is a shop where you can buy products for body care (such as shampoo and tooth paste), cosmetics but also house cleaners and diet snacks. I do buy in these two stores. .  Just Click the pics, it will get forwarded to the online website. You can choose your nearest shop by giving your pincode. .
