Egypt is famous for the fact that you can buy many medicines here 2-3 times cheaper than in Russia. You can only buy medicines in pharmacies (the sign usually says "Pharmacy"). Here are the categories of medicines that most often interest tourists:

  • Antibiotics of broad spectrum.
  • Anti-inflammatory and painkillers (analogues of ibuprofen, diclofenac).
  • Gastrointestinal tract remedies (for heartburn, to improve digestion).
  • Ointments and creams for skin diseases, burns, wound healing.
  • Hormonal drugs (for example, ointments for allergies and skin inflammations).
  • Vitamins and dietary supplements.
Some medicines from Egypt

Important: Not all pharmacies can provide competent advice in Russian. It is better to know in advance the international nonproprietary names (INN) of the medicines you need. You can contact Russian-speaking pharmacies or use the services of online pharmacies with delivery to the hotel.

Prices in pharmacies are fixed and usually indicated on the packaging in Egyptian pounds (LE) or piastres (PT). You can pay in pounds, dollars or euros. Check the expiration date before purchasing.
