I had experience with the charades act. Got food poisoning or a stomach bug in Sofia, Bulgaria and had to act out vomiting and diarrhea at the chemists desk. Eventually they got the drift, opened a box of pills and gave me a sheet of them with no further instruction.
I think I could have been successful if I knew some French, but alas, I opted for Spanish in high school. At the time it seemed Bulgarians over a certain age had French for their second (or third) language, and the younger folks had English.

People over 50 or 55 or so were taught French at school but younger people were taught English. However don’t expect most of them to speak much of it.

This isn't too far off how prescriptions work in many places in europe, east or west. If you're lucky, they'll hand-write instructions on the box (that are incomprehensible to me). For added confusion, the chemists don't count pills/break packages. So if your order is for 7 doses, but they come in boxes of 5, you'll get 10 doses.
