Yep! OTC medicines here are really limited. Although you can always get something stronger from the pharmacist.

I remember being ill in Switzerland and getting something for a nasty cold. I have no idea what it was other than magic in pill form.

But you can get scopolamine there OTC. In chewables for kids, even! We can only get it as a patch, and only by prescription.

Makes me want to find an importer I feel like I can trust, because I don't get over there often enough to bring it back myself.
