They do prescribe it here, though. If you’re sick for work for something minor, you might get a prescription for painkillers, which in turn drives the price down to 1/4th of the OTC price. 😉
Also in cases like chronic backpains that can’t simply be resolved and alike. My mother used to get a box of 50 500mg Paracetamol pills for less than €2.50 if she had the prescription. 😉
Which a doctor wouldn’t prescribe as it’s otc like everywhere.

We’ve only recently started the change to e-prescriptions where you just have to show your ID card at the Pharmacy, but not all doctors do it yet.
We still have a very large amount of old-school pill-doctors (as we call them here) that will write you one of these…
You will get weirdly looked at at some pharmacies though. 😅
