Most meds are included in generic forms. However, some choices are limited and others just are not in the formulary. For example I am on an anti-epileptic med. A similar form of this med is in the formulary. When I asked the Dr about changing he said it was better to stay with the one I was on because it has fewer side effects. So it will really depend on what meds you are on. If you feel comfortable providing me with a list of meds privately (generic name) I would be happy to check with a friend of mine who works in the Gov. system to see if your meds are included.

Thanks for that information Chris - I shall send a private message with my medication details.

PS Who are these people that give a 'thumbs down' for a simple, innocuous question ?

chriswright, I'm in the same situation trying to find out if Diazepam (the generic name) is available in Ecuador. I've read that Docs do prescribe it there but it's next to impossible to find in pharmacies there. Could you please check your friend about it? Thanks for your help!
