clinic pharmacies | 24 hr pharmacies | pharmacies MedicationsWhile many people bring a supply of medications with them, a wide variety is available from local pharmacies. It is easy to purchase painkilling medicines such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen for all ages. Many drugs are available here 'over the counter' at a pharmacy that would be 'prescription only' in many countries. Counterfeit medication is a problem in Indonesia, so it is widely advised to use only a trustworthy pharmacy rather than a street side Apotik.
