Many common over the counter drugs in America are banned or require prescriptions in Europe. Ibuprofen and pesto/imodium require prescriptions, and they’re not too fond of giving you them. Fun things you learn while traveling Europe with migraines and shiting thunder. Remember to pack enough while traveling.
Ibuprofen and imodium can be bought from the pharmacist’s counter and yes, are limited in the number you can ask for but like - how many do you mean by ‘enough’, there’s like 24 in a pack? And, to tell the little secret - you can go to the next pharmacy over if you desperately need more than that on one go?
Oh and even if they were prescription, you know getting a prescription is usually free or cheap right?
I’m guessing you went to a supermarket and expected to buy “Tylenol” and misunderstood what you were told.
Can someone explain this comment to me? It makes too little sense to be GPT.

It does depend on the country. In the Netherlands you can buy ibuprofen no problem for instance.
No they don’t?
