Does anyone know how to get birth control pills in Cairo? Are they in the pharmacy? Can they be provided over the counter? If it needs a prescription, how much does a doctor's visit cost?

Are you here now? If so you may know that many medicines and pharmaceuticals are missing from our pharmacies these days. I believe birth control pills are one of them that is getting harder to find. I don't use them, but have seen discussions on Facebook groups for women where when one woman found them at some specific pharmacy she advised everyone so they could go get them.
You don't need prescriptions for most drugs here but again (maybe because of the currency crisis) many drugs are missing. If you are coming on holiday, I suggest you bring enough for your stay. If you are moving here you best go talk to your doctor about alternative birth control if you expect to be sexual active.
