Are common prescription medications available in Austria?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Austria if common prescription medications are available in Austria, they wrote...

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Austria. Most medications can be obtained from pharmacies, with a valid prescription from a doctor. Some medications may require special authorization from the Austrian health authorities. In addition, some medications may not be available in Austria, and may need to be imported from other countries," said another expat in Austria.

"The pharmacies are virtually on every other block, and my Dr. is across the street from me. I go to the the doctor every other month to get my prescriptions filled (15 medications) and the co-payments are always under 5 Euro. Most medications have to go through the doctor. The overall experience is good and I have no complaints," wrote a member who made the move to Vienna, Austria.
