Are common prescription medications available in Cuenca?

"As for prescription medicines we have have trouble with only one item we needed which we could not get here in Cuenca which was a type of estrogen medication my wife needed. Everything else we have needed in the past 3 years we have lived here we have been able to find locally without problem and most items (though prescribed by the Doctor) did not require a prescription for any needed renewal. Cost for most items were less than in the US," wrote a member who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador.
