This is how American medicine is treated here in Sweden.
Got really sick when I visited the states, and my friend gave me some NyQuil and DayQuil. Holy fuck me in the ass, it was amazing. I completely crashed when I reached Heathrow, but it took me from being a feverish, snivelly mess, to feeling completely normal.
Here in Sweden we at most take ibuprofen/acetaminophen. If you're burning up it'll take the edge off, but you're not going to be feeling good.
Man I want some of those Ami drugs.
American who lives in Denmark:
First time I got sick and went to our pharmacy and was like "how do I get NyQuil?" I got basically laughed at. Miserable experience.
Now we take some NyQuil back when we can lol
I'm in the same boat as you- I brought 2 bottles of dayquil back last time. Same with melatonin, I don't typically use it but sometimes I need that stuff. I can only survive on strepsil and ibuprofen for so long.
The active ingredients used to be okay here in Sweden some ~25 years ago, but teens would abuse them, and our government is extremely anti-drugs. It’s literally the one thing all parties agree on.
I’d also bring some home. It’s great stuff. ww
If you want a real interesting time chug a couple bottles of robitussin dm and say hi to the elves for me.
