What expats should know about Belgian pharmacies
Everything is FAMHP regulated
Every online pharmacy in Belgium must be licensed by the FAMHP (Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products). Look for the green cross logo and verification link on the website. All pharmacies on PharmaCompare are FAMHP-licensed.
OTC medicines are cheaper online
In Belgium, over-the-counter medicines like paracetamol, ibuprofen, and antihistamines are often significantly cheaper online than in physical pharmacies. Prescription medicines must still be bought at a physical pharmacy.
Delivery is fast
Most orders arrive within 1-3 business days. Some pharmacies offer express delivery for next-day arrival.
English websites are limited
Most Belgian pharmacy websites are only in Dutch and French. PharmaCompare is available in English — use it to find the best price, then click through to the pharmacy to order.
CNK codes are your friend
Every pharmacy product in Belgium has a unique CNK code (like a Belgian product ID). If you know the CNK code of your product, you can search for it on any pharmacy website regardless of language.
