Significado
Purchasing medication from a pharmacy.
Contexto cultural
Pharmacies are marked by a green cross. In larger cities, there is always one 'dežurna' (on-duty) pharmacy open 24/7. The word 'apoteka' is often used instead of 'ljekarna' in Serbia, Bosnia, and sometimes colloquially in Croatia. The pharmacist is a highly trusted figure. People often ask for medical advice before deciding to 'kupiti lijek'. E-prescriptions (e-recept) are standard. You just give your health ID card to 'kupiti lijek'.
The Green Cross
Always look for the green cross sign; that's where you go to kupiti lijek.
Prescriptions
Many medicines like antibiotics require a 'recept'. You cannot just buy them.
