      They do prescribe it here, though. If you’re sick for work for something minor, you might get a prescription for painkillers, which in turn drives the price down to 1/4th of the OTC price. 😉

      Also in cases like chronic backpains that can’t simply be resolved and alike. My mother used to get a box of 50 500mg Paracetamol pills for less than €2.50 if she had the prescription. 😉

      Since it says Paracetamol, and not Acetaminophen, I assume this is Europe.

      I was prescribed 500 pills for my migraines at 1/5 of the typical price in sweden, though in Sweden doctors don’t handwrite prescriptions, so who knows where this doctor is from.

      My personal guess is he’s from the mind of whoever made this fake text.

        We’ve only recently started the change to e-prescriptions where you just have to show your ID card at the Pharmacy, but not all doctors do it yet.

        We still have a very large amount of old-school pill-doctors (as we call them here) that will write you one of these…

        You will get weirdly looked at at some pharmacies though. 😅
