they are all available though in the chemist so the availability is important.
funny how the bulgarians love italian food isn't it.

Yes, I know I can get them from a chemist Chrissy, but whilst I have 8 supermarkets within five minutes drive, I have a 60 kms round trip to a chemist. Even though we have a visiting GP, 3 times a week, the villagers get the local bus driver, or me to collect any prescriptions they need.

goodness me that does sound crazy all those supermarkets and no chemist for 60 k
well i do hope the supermarket takes that on board soon for you all. An instore chemist please supermarkets like we have in karthland supermarket in yambol lets hope they are watching the forum for you and your villagers
