Are common prescription medications available in Chile?

Answer this Question

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

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Chile. Most medications are available over the counter at pharmacies, although some require a prescription from a doctor. The Chilean government regulates the sale of prescription medications, and all medications must be approved by the Chilean Ministry of Health before they can be sold. Additionally, the Chilean government has implemented a system of price controls to ensure that medications are affordable for all citizens," explained one expat living in Chile.
