Are common prescription medications available in Punta del Este?

"Common prescription medications are generally available in Punta del Este. The city has several pharmacies and drugstores where you can find a wide range of medications, including those for chronic conditions, pain relief, and antibiotics. It is essential to have a prescription from a licensed medical professional to obtain prescription medications. In some cases, the brand names might be different from those in other countries, but the active ingredients should be the same. It is always a good idea to carry a copy of your prescription and consult with a local pharmacist to ensure you get the correct medication," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Punta del Este, Uruguay.

"Everything I took in the States is available here just not always in the same dosages. All are over the counter and without a prescription, but a prescription will get you a nice discount. All are equal or less than what I paid in the US in co-pay but without the cost of the prescription plan," commented one expat who made the move to Punta del Este, Uruguay.
