Toko Obat — drug store selling OTC (over-the-counter) medications only. No prescription drugs, no galenical compounding. Think: paracetamol, antacids, cough syrup, vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies (jamu), plasters, bandages. The defining rule: anything that a patient can legally buy without a doctor's prescription — a Toko Obat can sell it. Anything requiring a prescription — only an Apotek (47721) can dispense. This distinction is regulated under UU Kesehatan and enforced by Dinas Kesehatan.
