For medication, it depends on the pharmacy and how strictly controlled the drug is. Some pharmacies may ask you to have your prescription confirmed by a local general practitioner, while others may sell certain medicines without extra paperwork.

If the case is more serious, the advice was to look for the right specialist rather than only a pharmacy — for example, a psychiatrist or an addiction specialist, depending on the condition and treatment needed.
