Pharmacies in London - sudafed?

[sunshine state kim]

Are pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) and/or loradatine (Claritin) available in pharmacies in London?

Yes, you shouldn't have a problem getting this.

Boots the Chemist is one of the largest phramacies, there is a very big one, right by Piccadilly.

Hi,

Just to let people know that many trademark names of Over the Counter and Prescription meds in the US can differ from ones in Canada, UK, etc. Going by the drug actual name (i.e. pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) is better than using drug company name i.e Sudafed. quickly asking the pharmacist (they're called "Chemists" in UK I believe). Note that some over the counter drugs available in US may not be out over the counter in other countries, and vice versa. For instance, codeine phosphate up to 8mg concentration per tablet is allowed in Canada if you ask (without a prescription), but needs a prescription in the US. And, things available in the US, would not necessarily be available in other countries (i.e. Benzedrex inhalers for stuffy noses which contain Propylhexedrine. Each country may have it's differences. .

good point lovetocruise, i didnt know til i went to the US last year that you guys call it acetaminophen instead of paracetamol, luckily the pharmacist knew what i meant and gave me the right stuff

and to the OP, yes we do have claritin and sudafed over here, so asking for those specific brands is fine
