Are common prescription medications available in Negombo?
When we asked expats in Negombo if common prescription medications are available in Negombo, they wrote...
"In Negombo, common prescription medications are generally available at local pharmacies and medical stores. These medications include antibiotics, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. However, it is essential to carry a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner to obtain these medications. It is also advisable to carry a sufficient supply of any necessary medications when traveling to Negombo, as specific brands or formulations may not be readily available," said another expat in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
"Yes, most common prescription meds are available. There are many local pharmacy stores and you can get most meds at very low prices. Shop around and stick with the ones that give you the best prices as well as the lowest generic offerings. You can call ahead at many and your order will be waiting. A doctor office visit cost is around $3 to get a prescription. My wife's insulin pen cost $15.50 and my Symbicort inhaler cost is $14," wrote a member who made the move to Negombo, Sri Lanka.
