Pharmacies in Laos
Although we went to Laos primarily to see the waterfalls, we visited several pharmacies in Pakse, Laos. In the market area, there were about a half dozen pharmacies right in a row. These were outdoor market stalls, and I am pretty sure I did not meet any pharmacists. Like in Thailand, many drugs are sold without prescription. We bought antibiotics, herbal remedies, cardiovascular drugs, and others. Narcotics were not available.
