English term or phrase: Purchase from the shelf
Hola a todos...

Me ayudan con esto?

I recommend purchasing the ye drops from the shelf since it would be cheaper and you can use your over the counter card to purchase instead of having the pharmacy fill it for you.

Gracias

comprar sin receta


Explanation:
Recomiendo comprar gotas oftalmicas sin receta ya que resultara mas economico y podra pagar con su tarjeta en el mostrador, en lugar de que la farmacia tenga que prepararlo especialmente.
