Are common prescription medications available in Dhaka?

"Common prescription medications are generally available in Dhaka. The city has numerous pharmacies and drug stores where you can find a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. However, the availability of specific medications may vary, and it is advisable to carry a prescription from a registered medical practitioner when purchasing these medications. It is also important to note that counterfeit or low-quality medications can be a concern in some areas, so it is recommended to buy from reputable pharmacies and check the packaging and expiry dates carefully," remarked another expat who made the move to Dhaka, Bangladesh.
