prescription medications…finding equivalents

[Bruce Schacht]

My wife and I are planning to move to CR in a year or two, as soon as I can retire. She has a variety of medical issues, and takes a variety of medications. Can anyone point me to a source, or help me find out, which of her current medications are available there, either exact equals or equivalents?

Thank you kindly,
Bruce in Oregon

Hi Bruce,

Since medicines vary widely it is best to contact a pharmacy (called a farmacia) directly. Here are a few of the pharmacies in Grecia (in the Central Valley)- http://www.farmascr.com/contactenos.html. Click on “Servicio al Cliente” to email customer service and give them your list to see if they carry everything or have equivalents. Most pharmacies in Grecia have at least one English speaking employee.

Hope this helps,
Greg
