Significado
Used when someone needs medical supplies.
Contexto cultural
Pharmacies are marked by a green cross, often neon. If the cross is lit, the pharmacy is open. In big cities like Bucharest or Cluj, 'Farmacia Tei' or 'Bebe Tei' are cultural icons for low prices and huge variety. In villages, the pharmacy might have limited hours and the pharmacist is often the most respected person after the priest and the mayor. It is common to buy medicine 'la bucată' (by the blister pack) rather than the whole box if you only need a few pills.
Look for the Cross
In Romania, pharmacies are always marked with a green cross. If it's glowing, they are open!
Non-stop is rare
Not all pharmacies are 24/7. Always add 'non-stop' to your search if it's late at night.
