What medicines can be brought from Hurghada? I read how our tourists praise Egyptian preparations. Here, I'm interested. And where is it better to buy medicines in Hurghada, in ordinary pharmacies?

You need to buy medicines in pharmacies with fixed prices, as an example, the Elzaby pharmacy chain.
But what ... YouTube and the Internet to help ....
I like the MISWAK toothpaste they sell in pharmacies.

You can buy at any pharmacy, but fixed prices at the pharmacy of Senzo Mall "El-Ezaby"
There were many such questions, read. The main thing is to know the compound medicine in Latin, they have names of other medicines

You can't link here, but google the "Buy medicines in Egypt" forum - there is plenty of information on this topic.
It is better to buy in pharmacies of the El Ezabi network, they have fixed prices, less than prices in private pharmacies, besides, there are always Russian-speaking pharmacists.
Buy according to your needs, you won't regret, good quality drugs and much cheaper than ours

Buy only in state pharmacies. The instructions are mostly in Arabic. Very rarely English or other languages.

Honestly, if there is no special need for medicines, then buying on the principle of "everyone takes it and I need it" is definitely not worth it. Now, if the question is about the need to purchase, then definitely yes. And if you row according to the principle they say that it helps ... We only out of necessity, at one time, faced this topic, and we buy what we really need or need on vacation (it happens anyway).

mindguru, not advertising, I don't need it. Faced more than once on a divorce in other pharmacies. The government has a price stamp right on the pack, and they honestly sell by check. Although there are strains in other pharmacies, they still need to prove that this is the price and I will buy at this cost, and they rarely give a check.
El Ezabi can be delivered directly to the hotel for free, you dial from the reception and order and they bring you a check.

Tell us more about the benefits of the El Ezabi pharmacy network!
For some reason, I have never encountered a divorce in pharmacies. They even made a discount, as a regular customer, although the pharmacy is state-owned.

I recently learned that medicines are being brought from Egypt. On this trip, I was in a pharmacy in Senzo (by the way, it also seems that there is a hidden agent of this network here :)), and in other pharmacies. There are quite a lot of pharmacies with a cash register and checks, respectively, with fixed prices. In Senzo, by the way, I didn’t like the pharmacy, the queue is unreal + to find out the price, you have to defend this queue. Although some funds are freely available, there are no prices on the package

What medicines, ointments, etc. you still need to know what is allowed to be exported from Egypt.
You can stay without medicines, respectively, the money spent.

Damn, and here they are again sculpting about state pharmacies, bloggers blurt out and repeat everything after them. I repeat that medicines will not be sold to tourists in a state pharmacy, but only in private ones. - Google or a search engine for tourist truth to help), which are created by every tenth, will soon enter the top topics on an equal footing with "windless bay", "where to buy a SIM card", "where to buy fins-mask-slippers".

Greetings
I can't say, but maybe Alex714 is right about El Ezaby being privately owned.
This does not change the essence of the work of the pharmacy: medicines are sold here exactly at the prices that are indicated on the packages “from the factory”.
"For some reason, I have never encountered a divorce in pharmacies. They even gave a discount, as a regular customer ..." - mindguru, the fact that you were given a "discount" in some pharmacy most likely says just about that you were "bred" there))
About what kind of medicines to bring from Egypt, they write a lot on all travel forums. I recommend simply making a list of those drugs that you usually use, write out their active ingredients, and buy analogues in Egypt with the same composition. Omega-3, Pantogar and other vitamins can be added to this list.
Please note that some medicines (for example, for Hepatitis C) can be taken out of the country ONLY in the amount necessary for personal use.

Veter.Peremen-Nadezhda.Kurganskaya, is there a branch of advertising for the El Elzabi network or can I look for some other pharmacies? For some reason, the situation reminds me of when they ask for a fish restaurant in Sharm, 99% of Russian speakers answer: Fares. It is clear that in Sharm there are fish restaurants that are more interesting in terms of interior and pricing policy, but Russians only know Fares, so there are already a thousand pages on the forum where this particular fish restaurant is advised.
Alex714, you forgot such a super popular question: "What will the weather be like in Hurghada on March 11?". It's December, damn it. Surely even the Egyptians themselves cannot give an accurate weather forecast for four months. Do not worry. The weather will be. By the way, this is another reason to stay at home and not go anywhere. As for Ukraine, the weather forecast is 100% for four months.

mindguru, you can)) Search. Just so you don't get bred anymore, look at the factory prices on the packages.
Here people ask for advice, not to look for themselves, but to take advantage of the experience of those who have already experienced it. I have been living in Egypt for more than 10 years and so far I have not found a pharmacy that is more convenient and adequate in terms of cost. But you know better from Kyiv))

In Hurghada they bought in small pharmacies near the mosque and the fish market. Rogues are everywhere, but almost all packages have prices. They tried to sell for 60 something that costs 12 pounds. Everywhere you need to look at the price and date. Many people understand Russian. By the way, the popular black cumin oil in pharmacies of 1.1 or 1.2 liters costs 320 pounds, which is several times cheaper than in perfume shops, the quality is the same.

And one more note. In addition to the factory price stamp on the package, check the number of plates in the pack. They wanted to deceive us in this way.
Some drugs require a doctor's prescription, confirmation, and export in quantities for a course of treatment.
This is what the price stamp looks like on the package

The pharmacy in Senzo Mall in Hurghada is not enthusiastic. We needed specific drugs that we bought earlier in Sharm. They were not there at all. We bought them at the pharmacy in the hotel, twice as expensive, but everything was there.

Soho pharmacies inflate prices further than anywhere else, and if you don’t like it, don’t take it if you point out the price on the package to them. This was not the case before. I was there in the spring, they just rounded up to 1 ye. But before the new year, I asked my sister to bring me drugs, she brought me ... The fact that 6 le = 3 ye, then that 17 le = 5 ye. I am shocked. In November I was in el azabi, everything is like a penny in a pretty penny on a pack.
