You can get them if you have a prescription so if the doctor seems a good reason, there is no problem. Note that its free to visit the doctor and free to get a prescription. Also prescribed medication is cheaper than over the counter medication even if it is the same medication. The state helps cover the cost of prescribed medications.
That said, it’s better to fight the cause of the pain instead of the pain, You can also get physiotherapy prescribed or other treatment that will help against whatever is hurting.
Also construction work is often very safe and protected both by education and insurance due to unions. Although its hard work it is often strongly regulated and controlled to follow rules that will protect workers from getting hurt or worn out
Damn, so do women get automatic prescriptions then? Period cramps are no joke! It would suck to have to keep buying those at 10 at a time endlessly. How often do you have to see the doctor to renew the script? Because that’s also a time suck.
No automatic prescriptions based on gender. Only if there is a need for them. If the doctor deems painkillers necessary though, then yes. Often they will work on finding a solution that helps minimize pain instead of treating the pain. That said, most people do just fine with 10 pieces at a time. You can buy them everywhere so it’s not difficult to get some of you need them.
Prescriptions can be “chronic” so they don’t run out or limited. You can have it renewed when it expires though. You can do this on an app (or phone call) and your doctor will evaluate and my extend the prescription.

In fact, they pretty much do, yes. Just got to ask the doctor during a regular visit. Do note that I’m Brazilian, not European, but Brazil is essentially a fusion of Portugal and Italy.
Most women I know (including myself) aren’t in excruciating agony for the entire time they’re bleeding. But admittedly there’s always the occasional one that’s way worse than usual, and sometimes I’ll go through a whole box of 16 ibuprofen during the week.
In which case we just…add a new box onto the shopping delivery for a few pence? It’s not like it’s some kind of major hassle, it’s just one more click on the weekly shop, and we tend to always keep a spare box around just in case of emergencies.
Why?
I hope nobody over there has regular headaches, or works construction.

You sound like you are from some kind of ultra based future society
It’s sad isn’t it?
Yeah
