Where can travelers buy over-the-counter medicines in Batumi, including oral rehydration salts, sorbents, and iron supplements?

For iron supplements in Batumi, check the vitamin and iron sections at Aversi, PSP, and GPC. Ask for an iron product recommended by a doctor and confirm the elemental-iron dose rather than relying on a brand name alone.

If a medicine is not available at one pharmacy, try several chains—Aversi, PSP, GPC, and Pharmadepot have separate inventory. Show the pharmacist a package photo or the medicine’s international name so they can suggest a local equivalent.

For food poisoning, ask pharmacies not only for Regidron and Polysorb but for their categories: an oral rehydration solution and an enterosorbent. This makes it easier to find a substitute when the Russian brands are not stocked.
