Default Prescriptions in Qatar

Having discussion with friends here. I was complaining that Pharmacies in Qatar asked for prescriptions before dispensing. In my case I needed Allopurinol for gout but had to see a doctor to get a prescription.

Friend is telling me that Pharmacies will now sell medication without a prescription.

My experience was a few years ago.

What is your experience ?

I know Dubai is not Qatar but here I have never ever been asked for prescription for anything. Even medicines marked (in English) PRESCRIPTION ONLY.

Certainly in Saudi you are never asked for a prescription. Well, maybe if you want a lot of Morphine !!!

Qatar is a lot tighter on dispensing medicines than the UAE that's for sure . You'll still find a place which will hand you over a weeks worth of antibiotics but it's rare these days but like anything here you'll get what you want with the right cash / influence / contacts.

The only medicine I knew of that needed a prescription is the pill.

There's that new one out, no prescription needed, single dose only but instead of swallowing it you have to hold it between your knees.
