What it is

How pharmacies work in Italy: identified by a green cross, and always at least one open through the night on a rota.

Why you need it

Knowing the rota exists means you are never without access to medicine, even late at night or on a Sunday, and knowing what needs a prescription saves an unnecessary trip.

When

Useful from your first week; check where the rota is posted near you before you need it urgently.

What you need first

Nothing to find one; a prescription only for the medicines that need one

Ask a student

Ask which pharmacy near them they actually used at night, since the rota changes and a local student will know the nearest one rather than you having to check every door.
