Pharmacies
You'll see plenty of pharmacies (
lékárna
or
apteka
) throughout Prague and
the Czech Republic. These are identified by a big green cross on the outside.
In addition to dispensing prescription medications, pharmacies are the only
places that can sell common over-the-counter drugs like aspirin, cough syrup,
cold medications, and the like.
Most pharmacies keep normal business hours, but each district has at least
one late-hour dispensary for emergencies. To find the pharmacy in your dis-
trict, go to any pharmacy. Information is usually posted on the door.
