Pharmacies in Berlin, Germany

In Berlin, pharmacies are known as “Apotheken.” They are easily identifiable by a prominent red “A” symbol, which stands for “Apotheke,” often displayed on the signage outside the pharmacy. These establishments offer various health-related products and services, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and health consultations.

Local Policy on Antibiotics

In Germany, pharmacists cannot sell antibiotics over the counter. Antibiotics are only available with a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. This policy is in place to ensure responsible use of antibiotics and to combat antibiotic resistance.

Emergency Number for Berlin

In Berlin, the primary emergency number to call in life-threatening situations is 112. This number connects you to emergency services including the police, fire department, and medical assistance. It is a toll-free number and can be dialed from any phone.

When you dial 112, you will be connected to an operator who will ask you to provide information about the nature of the emergency, your location, and any other relevant details. It is important to stay calm and provide accurate information to ensure that help can be dispatched quickly and efficiently.

Remember, emergency numbers should only be used for immediate threats to life, health, property, or environment. For non-life-threatening medical issues, consider using telehealth services like Doctorsa, which can provide medical advice and consultations over the phone or internet.
