Do you need pharmacy receipts when leaving Sharm El Sheikh with medicine, and where to buy medicine?

TL;DR
Customs won't ask for receipts if you're buying just 1-2 packs of medicine for personal use — questions only come up for bulk wholesale purchases. You can buy medicine at a pharmacy near Mango Market.

Buying medicine in bulk (many packs of the same drug) can raise questions from customs on arrival back home — unlike buying just 1-2 packs for personal use.

At Sharm El Sheikh airport, receipts for medicine aren't typically checked, even if the receipt is incomplete or lost — personal-use purchases like this don't raise flags.
