Reverse card: Nexium is otc in Usa, prescription only in my part of the big diverse place that is the Eu, so i can't speak for all of it.



Second reverse card: I can buy a giant bottle of Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) in any grocery store in the US, right off the shelf, using self-checkout. In Germany, I can only buy it in 10-20 tablet packets at a pharmacy, and only after asking the tech at the register for it, and will be warned not to take more than a certain number in a day.

And you’re sure as heck not getting any antibiotic stronger than a first aid cream without a prescription in Germany.
