Pharmacy: apoteka
A pharmacy is an apoteka. Some are open 24/7 (dežurna apoteka). Many medicines are sold without a prescription; prescription-only medicines are sold "na recept".
Examples

I have a prescription.
Treba mi nešto za glavobolju.
I need something for a headache.
Tips
- A "dežurna apoteka" is the pharmacy on night duty — find the nearest one in advance.
