Pharmacy in Dubai

[SolomonQ]

reading back my post (#7) it sounds quite harsh but still holds true.

Related to this post had a lady phone up a while back about her daughter who was in Dubai on holiday. can't exactly remember what she had but she had gone to a community pharmacy there where they sold her some co-fluampicilin for watever she told them she had. and this lady was calling to ask how many to take and when to take them etc... Now im not sure how pharmacy/healthcare operates in Dubai, which is one of the most advanced arab countries, but co-fluamipicilin was obtained without a Rx and whoever sold it didnt tell the patient what to do with it. This is quite surprising as even when we here in the UK sell paracetamol (500mg) to someone we tell them "2 every 4-6 hours no more than 4 times a day".

Maybe certain meds like co-fluampicillin are sold like paracetamol is in the UK (but without pharmacist supervision), and to get any real medical advice you must need to pay for it and medical advice when you pay for is generally quite expensive, and Brits arent used to paying for things that are priceless...

Any help is appreciated.

hi,

in dubai you give the money and they will give you any medicine you ask for
i went there on holiday and everything is totally different from here and one thing for sure:

patient care is not first

so if your a crap pharmacist ,just scraped a pass and got nothing out of your pharmacy practice 3 labs....THEN i would advise you to work in Dubai

im not being harsh ,this is facts about dubai
you would think its not because its got all those cool buildings and money
healthcare in dubai is rubbish.

anyone prove its not?
