These are called apotek in Norway. Most are open Monday - Saturday 09:00/10:00 – 17:00/18:00 and closed on Sundays.
Health insurance
We urge all customers to purchase comprehensive travel insurance. Insurance is not available through Nordic Visitor. Scandinavian citizens must show their passport in the event of a medical emergency while citizens of EEA countries must have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or else the patient will be charged in full.
