Purchase options

• Local pharmacies: This is the easiest option. The staff is qualified to advise you, check for possible interactions with other medications, and explain the correct dosage.
• Online pharmacies: Many German online pharmacies (such as DocMorris , Sanicare, Apodiscounter, etc.) offer Paracetamol 500 mg. You can order the product online and have it delivered . Please note that even here, you often only have a limited quantity to order without a prescription.
