Over the Counter Medication in the Netherlands for Adults
Your local pharmacy is called an apotheek and this is where your doctor’s (huisarts) prescription medications can be given too. In Amsterdam, the “DA Apotheek “ located at the Leidsestraat 74-76 is open 24 hours a day. A drugstore (drogist) is not a pharmacy. Etos, DA and Kruidvat are some of the Dutch drugstore chains and they only sell over the counter medications.
