What medications to bring or buy at pharmacies in the UAE (Dibba area, Fujairah/Sharjah coast)?

For hotels near Dibba, local pharmacies are less familiar to tourists compared to Sharm el-Sheikh — better to bring medications for chronic conditions (e.g. psoriasis treatment) from home rather than expect to find them locally.

Definitely pack Panadol tablets — a basic fever/pain reliever that's essential to have on hand during the trip.

For young kids, vitamin D drops are recommended — locals jokingly call it 'Vitamin D-Dubai'.

For yourself and teenagers, pack calcium and multivitamins, plus something for toothache — generally advised to bring whatever you normally use at home.
