At the pharmacy

In Germany, pharmacies are known as Apotheke and are denoted by a large red A. There are two types of medication: freely-available drugs and prescription only medicines, which require a prescription (Rezept) from a doctor.

Prescriptions are very strict in Germany. Even medicines like antibiotics etc that you might be able to buy over the counter in your country will need a doctor’s prescription here. Also note that you will always need to pay the whole cost for non-prescription drugs. Medicines in Germany are among the most expensive in Europe, so bring a supply of non-prescription painkillers, cold remedies and other items with you.

Opening hours of pharmacies are as follows: Weekdays 09:00-18:30, Saturdays 09:00-13:00 (sometimes -16.00). For emergencies, there is always at least one pharmacy open in every area day and night.

Expatriate health insurance in Germany

With so much to deal with before leaving your home country, (taxes, moving house, paperwork etc.) the careful planning of your expatriation to Munich is an essential step. As far as healthcare is concerned, your local social security scheme won’t be accompanying you to your host country and, once abroad, you might be surprised by the care system you find in Germany. So, before leaving, make sure you have appropriate cover!

EasyExpat.com works in partnership with APRIL International to provide specific insurance solutions for travelling or staying outside your country of nationality.

Insurance solutions to suit your profile and with the flexibility to meet your insurance needs

Designed for either short or long stays, APRIL International’s insurance policies offer protection against any problems that might arise before departure or during your time in Germany: cancelling your trip, medical expenses following an illness or accident, needing to be repatriated, causing damage to a third party or losing your luggage.
