My wife and I will be moving to Salinas Ecuador in 12 months. Typical to someone at this point in life (65) I do have medications I take. I'm wondering what the best way of transferring my current med. needs from a stateside physician to someone in Ecuador?

Meds are a little different here. 75% of common medication can be purchased over the counter at the pharmacy without a prescription. To see if they have it, google the name of your prescription and 'Spanish'. Get the spanish name for the medication or its generic. Then you can search fybeca.com to see if they carry it. They carried 6 out of 8 medications for my wife and I. Some they will not carry and it may require a doctors note, like anxiety meds, or ordering a year supply from a Canadian Pharmacy each year and bring them with you. But you can always bring your scripts with you and show a doctor here.

Bring a list of scripts on your North American doctor's letterhead, including potencies and how often to take.
No need to figure out ahead of time the names of scripts that may be different in Ecuador. Your EC doctor will take care of that.
Note that mind-altering drugs known as 'estupefacientes y psicotrópicos' must be prescribed by a specialist in Ecuador. Before making a specialist appointment find out if e-and-p pharmaceuticals can be prescribed by the potential doctor.

Is "scripts" cute shorthand for prescriptions? as "meds" is for medicines? Or would this be a collection of "lines" to be spoken by an actor? If so a list of scripts would be the repertoire of a player or troupe, an actors resume, a repertory company's stock of plays.
time for my meds - the anti-rambling remedy.
