what is the medicine, anastacio?
just about the only painkiller they will not sell over the counter is morphine.
jesus, people, stop worshiping big labs and open your eyes to generics!
seroquel is quetiapina, widely available in DR over the counter. under the name of seroquel it is sold in DR at about 100 pesos per pill (100mg).
there are several great labs doing the same compound:
quetiazic (asofarma) at 70 pesos per pill
serenil (lab dr collado) at 52 pesos a pill
quetiap (euro) at 60 pesos a pill
all prices for 100mg. also available in 150, 200 and 300mg. serenil is probably the best.
cheers
I used to use Oxycodone or is it Oxycodine? Possibly both! I ask for Oxycodone and they just look at me like I'm an alien asking for crackly space dust!
100rd a pill............... thats a low price........... very low........ it would make me question the quality. I know these meds and i know their US prices.......... hmmmmmmmmmmm
my 2 cents
ok, folks. meds sold in DR under the same brand name as in the USA are the same. the only difference is a factory that makes them. large companies have plants all over the world so they can supply different areas. seroquel, therefore, will be seroquel. and i think 100 pesos per pill is a whooping price tag. this is around 3 dollars. for one pill only. link above gives a price of 51 dollars for a box of 30 pills (100mg). that is 1.7 dollars a pill. half the dominican price. still think dominican pharmacies sell it cheap, dude?
i am stunned
oxycodone (a compound anastacio is looking for) is one of the synthetic opioid. i am not sure it is sold in DR but we do have a similar kind of a drug: codeine. available over the counter combined with diclofenac, under the name OXA FORTE. about 45 pesos a pill, if i remember it right.
there is also tranquilizante used to manage pain (in combination with pain killers): amitriptyline (about 15 pesos per pill). i take it sometimes when i have migraines.
i remember now one generic brand name of sertralina: IMPLICANE (by asofarma, a mexican lab). 50 pesos per pill, or so.
remember that it pays off more to buy a box of pills. you can ask for a discount when paying cash (usually 10% off). if you think it is not much then look at it this way: on daily use pills (heart, pressure, diabetes) you get one free month in a year. i do not think it is too shabby, do you?
btw, shalena is right. most of prescription only meds (america and europe) are sold here over the counter.
please note that i am not giving medical advice here. i am only telling you what is available. you should always cosult your doctor to check if those meds are good for you.
It's interesting that psychotropics and codeine are available without a prescription but ADHD meds aren't.what's so shocking? generally the medicine in DR is quite expensive. but one can buy nearly everything without prescription.
anyways, i checked sertralina and only found IMPLICANE i mentioned above. about 35 pesos for 50mg and 50 pesos for 100mg.
anastacio: another strong medicine for pain is celocoxib, sold in DR under various brand names: celeco, impedil, coxal. between 35 and 60 pesos a pill. then we have a combination of tramadol and paracetamol sold here as zaldiar, duplodol, tolmus, tramacet. between 45 and 76 pesos a pill. and dexketoprofeno sold as enantynum at about 80 pesos a pill. all pain killers work differently and they help with different types of pain. you should check with your doctor what would be best for your ilness.
