Frequently Asked Questions

Preparation of medicine usually takes up to 24 hours. However, we look objectively at the demand for a variety of medicines, such as flu syrups in the cold season, and such medicines will be available immediately or the preparation time will only be a few hours. The preparation of more time-consuming products, such as capsules, can take up to five working days.

There may be situations where a particular medicine is available only in our pharmacy, since Saules aptieka has specialised in the procurement of unregistered medicines for nearly 20 years. The medicine market in Latvia is very small. This creates specific conditions in the pharmaceutical sector, which results in a limited range of medicines available in Latvia, and many nationally registered medicines are not registered due to high costs. In such situations, ordering medicines from another country is therefore the only way to provide this medicine to the patient.
