Now in the summer season, there are not only relaxing vacations, but also a delicate situation of seasonal viruses, especially among children. While parents are faced with the prices of medications.
But what are the summer prescription costs that parents pay for medications at the pharmacy?
"They vary, I can say that they start at 3,500 new lek, for prescriptions that only treat symptoms, then if we are dealing with antibiotics, this value doubles," says Kleida Muka, pharmacist.
According to pharmacist Muka, during the summer, citizens increasingly show up at the pharmacy with prescriptions related to various infections, which appear either during or after the holidays.
"The most common prescriptions are related to respiratory infections, i.e. with symptoms such as sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough. We also have problems that appear after vacations, mainly urinary tract infections, which are accompanied by burning or pain during urination. We also have gastrointestinal tract infections, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain," she said.
The pharmacist advises that parents consult with their doctor to always receive appropriate treatment, especially during times when temperatures are high.
