Medical Emergencies
For all medical emergencies, including ambulance dispatch, life-threatening situations, and fire or police emergencies, dial 112.

For non-medical emergencies such as criminal offenses or serious traffic incidents requiring police presence, you can call 110.
Pharmacy Services
Pharmacy services in Bavaria follow the general pattern in Germany, with regular opening hours and some cities offering 24-hour pharmacies. To find a pharmacy with emergency services, look for "Apotheke" (pharmacy) in your local area. The emergency service schedules may vary locally, so it's recommended to search locally or ask at a hospital emergency room where such pharmacies are often listed.
