Advice on supply of medicines

Zug

How’s it going, beautiful people,

would you be able to let me know if anyone faced shortage or out of stock medicine in the past couple of months?

Do you actually need a prescription for some medicine and, if UK/EEA issued prescription, is authorized?

Cheers

I have had no issues with whatever I need. Some items require a prescription... others don't.

Most medications are OTC here, except for strong pain meds and those requiring stronger controls.


You must have a signed prescription if you want insurance reimbursement for medications.


We live in Las Terrenas, and there have been times when we had to visit every pharmacy in town to find what we needed and other times when we couldn't find things at all! For about six months last year, I couldn't find one prescription anywhere and the pharmacists couldn't even order it for me.
