Over The Counter (OTC) drugs can be bought without a prescription. Many pharmacists will sell you prescription medicine without a prescription, although they may be strict about certain medicines (namely sleeping pills, barbiturates, and codeine). You will also be able to use a prescription from the doctor in your home country, as long as it&#8217;s in English. However, some drugs are sold under different names in India, so it&#8217;s a good idea to known the name of the chemical (or &#8220;salt&#8221; as it&#8217;s referred to in India) and not just the brand name.<\/p>\n<p>Indian pharmacists can also advise on medical situations, and are quick to dispense pills, especially antibiotics. Never take antibiotics without a doctor&#8217;s prescription&#8211;ask for simple, OTC drugs to treat symptoms until you can make it to a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>To meet urgent situations, many of the chemists remain open 24 hours.
