What are the best pharmacies to go to near Madinah street & sari street? Or are they all pretty much the same with similar prices?

Also do I need a prescription for my inhalers?

I am looking for over the counter allergy and sinus medicine as well as medicine for kids, advil, and then my inhalers.

Thanks

The prices more or less are the same (with the exception of cosmetics and none medicated stuff). Al Nahdi and its subsidiaries Al Sudais and Al Wasfa are the largest pharmacy chain in Jeddah followed by Untied. You can find them in any street in Jeddah.

With very small exceptions, you can buy any drug here with no doctor prescription; your chemist will tell you if you do need one.

If you are looking for one drug and you could not find it in the street pharmacies then try one of tow; Dr.Suliman Fakeeh Hospital pharmacy in Palestine Street or Nura Pharmacy in Tahlia near Fifa gardnes and Nestlé Café/ Nura in Nura Building Palestine Street. If the drug you are looking for is available in the Saudi Market, those two will have it, if they dont, dont look any farther

Off topic ; Fifa have a free small animal display if you like to take your kids there.
