===Laws & Social Stigmas===
There are many pharmacies in Bulgaria, though most of them are not open 24 hours. In fact, in April 2018, it was reported that there were only 30 "non-stop" (i.e. 24 hour) pharmacies in Bulgaria.<ref>[https://www.novinite.com/articles/189783/There+are+only+32+Non-stop+Pharmacies+in+Bulgaria There are only 32 Non-stop Pharmacies in Bulgaria]</ref> You can find a range of medications available over-the-counter at pharmacies. There are some medications that may technically be available by prescription only, but these laws may not be followed by all pharmacists. It should also be noted that some pharmacies may run out of certain products, and there has been a problem of middle-men buying a large quantity of certain medications or products to be sold in other European countries (thereby depleting the stock of a product in Bulgaria).<ref>[http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/parallel-profits-bulgaria-s-medical-drug-dealers-12-01-2017 Parallel Profits: Bulgaria’s Medical Drug Dealers]</ref>
