Do you need a perscription to buy antibiotics in Italy?

Answer 1

Yes you do. You cannot but antibiotics over the counter.

Answer 2

Yes, you need, like in all over European Union. It's needed for health reasons, in order to avoid misuse.

Anyway, a lot of other kind of medicines don't need a prescription, just the ones that may damage the body-system if not properly used.

Answer 3

Yes you do, you can not get any meds over the counter here. They have state run medication and insurance. So bring everything with you when you come here.
