Traveler advise

If you are planning a travel or holiday to a (sub) tropical country you need good preparation. Don't forget your vaccinations and malaria treatment. Meerburg Apotheek gives you free of chargeprofessional advice based on the latest recommendations or obligatory vaccinations by WHO and healthcare organizations.

People who are planning a pilgrimage (e.g. Hadj to Mecca) we can inform about the obligatory vaccinations.

If you travel to other countries a list of all your prescribed medicines, including generic names will be very convenient to you in case you lose your medicines or have difficulties crossing borders. Just ask for it and we can make a print of your medication history from our database.

OTC (=non prescribed medicines) and self medication

For a good advice and reliable products you can come to the pharmacy, that's a fact. Especially for some common ailments, like pain, common cold, flu, itching, diarrhoea or nausea, for which you don't consult immediately a doctor. If you come to us we can advise you, and if you want we will check with your other medication for incompatibilities. Our advice is based on our knowledge and on standards of treating. Sometimes we will advise you not to buy any medicine but to consult a doctor (GP), for instance when your problems last longer then usual.

Naturally our advice is free of charge.
