How to say “Do I need a prescription?” in Khmer
តើខ្ញុំត្រូវការវេជ្ជបញ្ជាទេ?
Tae khnhom trouv kaa vechchabanhcha te?
💡 វេជ្ជបញ្ជា (vechchabanhcha) = prescription. In practice most medicines, including antibiotics, are sold without one in Cambodia. That convenience carries risks — over-using antibiotics fuels resistance, so use them only when genuinely needed.
