Prescription

Hi.


I got a prescription for painkillers from the doctor today.  Does anybody have a clue what it says? There must be an international school for Dr prescription writing. Lol.

I think it probably is Melbek aka meloxicam https://apteka.framar.bg/30002150/%D0%B … C%D0%B3-30


It's related to ibuprofen, but stronger.

I'm so glad, I'm in Austria, all our prescriptions are either typed out and printed or they are on your Ecard (health insurance card), and you just collect them from any pharmacy. Great for repeat prescriptions.

@PlovdivEd. 😆😆

I don't think I need a prescription for that but thanks for the idea. I'll give it a shot. (Or a bottle)

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll just stick to Malbec.  Can't beat a drop of red wine
