Are common prescription medications available in Santo Domingo?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Santo Domingo if common prescription medications are available in Santo Domingo, they wrote...

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Santo Domingo. The city has numerous pharmacies, known as "farmacias," where you can find a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Some medications may be available over the counter, while others may require a prescription from a local doctor. It is essential to carry your prescription and a copy of your medical records when visiting a pharmacy. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before purchasing any medication to ensure its safety and effectiveness," remarked another expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.

"Yes and most are available without a prescription with the exception of serious pain killers," explained one expat living in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
