The Pharmacy (apotek)

Norway has strict laws which forbid you to bring medicines into the country. Foreign prescriptions are not accepted in Norway. Strict control over the medicines and over-the-counter products leaves the consumer a limited choice of single remedy products, available only from the apotek. You may heed to buy two or three products to treat two or three symptoms. Over-the-counter products are sold in small quantities. Larger quantities require a prescription.

Over the counter pain killers are:
Advil/Ibuprofen: Ibux, Ibumetin, Brufen, Ibuprofen and Ibuprox.
Tylenol/Acetaminophen: asPamol, Panodil, Paracet, Paracetamol, Perfalgan, Pinex, and Pro-Dafalgan
Aspirin: Acetylsalisylsyre, Albyl-E, Aspirin, Bamycor, Dispril, Globentyl, Globoid and Novid

Prescriptions (resept)

The prescription area of the apotek requires that you take a number from the machine, or if there is no machine, you will be given a
number once your prescription is handed to the pharmacist.
