What over-the-counter medicines can you buy at pharmacies in Bali (antihistamines, burn treatment, herbal remedies)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
TL;DR
Kimia Farma and Guardian pharmacies in Bali sell OTC antihistamines (Cetirizine, Loratadine) and burn remedies (Bioplacenton, Bepanthen) without a prescription; dried herbs like mint are better sourced from health stores like Bali Buda or ordered via the Halodoc app.

For burns, Bali pharmacies carry Bioplacenton gel or Bepanthen cream as a Panthenol substitute — available at any Kimia Farma or Guardian pharmacy for roughly 30,000-50,000 IDR.

Dried mint and similar herbs usually aren't stocked at regular Bali pharmacies — look for them at health food stores like Pepito or Bali Buda, or at local traditional herb (jamu) markets.

For ordering medicines and herbal products online in Bali, the Halodoc or Kimia Farma Apotek apps work well — island-wide delivery is usually same-day.
