Are common prescription medications available in Mendoza?

"Common prescription medications are generally available in Mendoza. The city has numerous pharmacies where you can find a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. It is important to have a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional to obtain these medications. Some pharmacies may also carry over-the-counter medications for minor ailments. It is recommended to carry a copy of your prescription and the generic name of the medication, as brand names may vary in Argentina," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mendoza, Argentina.

"Common Rx may not be available all the time. The government restricts imports severely, and there are times when certain prescriptions are simply not in the pharmacies. This has happened repeatedly and affects, for example, heart and cancer medications. Cost is about the same as in the U.S. I know an Argentine cancer patient who at one point had to go all over town to numerous pharmacies in search of a medication and could not get it for weeks," commented one expat who made the move to Mendoza, Argentina.
