These pharmacies carry a wide range of medications, including those for chronic conditions, pain relief, and antibiotics. To obtain prescription medications, you will need a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. Some pharmacies also offer over-the-counter medications and health products. It is important to note that pharmacies in Vienna may have limited operating hours, and a few designated pharmacies provide 24-hour services for emergencies," said another in Vienna, Austria.

"The pharmacies are virtually on every other block, and my Dr. is across the street from me. I go to the the doctor every other month to get my prescriptions filled (15 medications) and the co-payments are always under 5 Euro. Most medications have to go through the doctor. The overall experience is good and I have no complaints," explained one expat who made the move to Vienna, Austria.
