    American who lives in Denmark:

    First time I got sick and went to our pharmacy and was like “how do I get NyQuil?” I got basically laughed at. Miserable experience.

    Now we take some NyQuil back when we can lol

      I’m in the same boat as you- I brought 2 bottles of dayquil back last time. Same with melatonin, I don’t typically use it but sometimes I need that stuff. I can only survive on strepsil and ibuprofen for so long.

      The active ingredients used to be okay here in Sweden some ~25 years ago, but teens would abuse them, and our government is extremely anti-drugs. It’s literally the one thing all parties agree on.

      I’d also bring some home. It’s great stuff. ww
