Are common prescription medications available in Kiev?
When we asked expats in Kiev if common prescription medications are available in Kiev, they wrote...
"Yes, they are but I always take my own!! I never buy from a local pharmacy and usually buy a German prescription. I don't trust a Ukrainian pharmacy," remarked another expat who made the move to Kiev, Ukraine.
"Most of medicine that I usually need I can buy without prescription at the pharmacy. But after visiting the doctor I was prescribed some pills and the doctor gave me the prescription for them. I can't say the medicine was very expensive," explained one expat living in Kiev, Ukraine.
