Q: Where can I buy western medicines in Beijing?
Do Chinese pharmacies ever sell them or do I have to go to a Jenny Lou's-type place?

No, Jenny Lou's type places don't sell medicines. The average pharmacy in Beijing sells both Western and Chinese meds. Usually, they try to prescribe you one of each.

Depends what you mean by "western"they have pills and such, but it's Chinese brands.

Hospitals such as "Family Care" or "SOS Clinic" import medicine, but it's extremely overpriced.
Local brands of medicine work just as fine, if that can reassure you.
