Are common prescription medications available in Punta del Diablo?

"In Punta del Diablo, common prescription medications can be found at local pharmacies or "farmacias." These pharmacies typically carry a range of medications for various health conditions, such as antibiotics, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and medications for chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. However, the availability of specific medications may vary, and it is always a good idea to bring a sufficient supply of any necessary prescription medications when traveling. Additionally, it is important to have a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional, as some pharmacies may require it before dispensing medication," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.

"I was a medical transcriptionist in my former life, so I pretty well know what I need to doctor myself. Here, you can get whatever you need if you know the generic drug name and can write it down. No prescription needed. Ex: I have fibromyalgia and occasionally use a muscle relaxer. I go ask for Flogene or Diclofenac, and done. Cost is about $10 for 30 tabs," commented one expat who made the move to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
