this should be available literally everywhere, over the counter, very popular medicine. the price depends on the exact brand, for example synthroid 112 mcg is 29 pesos per pill (in PP). other brands may be cheaper or more expensive.
some pharmacies may offer a nice discount if you buy larger supply and pay in cash, always worth asking.

Come to Cabrera.... I can show you higher prices.

Your experience isn't mine -- but that matters little
I find almost the same at Carol Rx....

But it is interesting... how the prices vary by region.....and they do - as you say

Wow. I had to buy this (100 mcg) once in SD, my sister-in-law called a pharmacy and they delivered it, holy moley, I got ripped off.

Good to know, thanks

Wish I knew it earlier, flying down the 23rd, too soon to refill my prescription, so I paid out of pocket for 30 pills. $26.

Do you have to be a resident or have a medical card/insurance to get these prices?
Where is this in Sosua or Charamicos?

No insurance cash only; don't offer information.

Just walk in and buy it. There is a street called Enrique Estrada in los Charamicos. It's misspelled on the official document. There's a surprise.

Google map Calle Enrique Estrada # 6 Sosua


The map doesn't appear to be identifying #6. Maybe someone who lives, works or recreates in Sosua can do a flyby to see if there is a Promesecal on that street.

Yet another thing I do not buy in the DR - prescription drugs. Too many counterfeited stuff and nothing is regulated. No thank you!

I make sure I take/bring bulks with me to to the DR in every travel to CONUS.

There are trustworthy brands - I buy my Crestor in the DR and it's manufactured in Puerto Rico. My bisoprolol is made in Uruguay by Roemmers ( Ratio) Ethical is also a good brand. When I go back to Canada I pick up a 200 day supply ( that's the most they will give me and I don't pay for it as it's one of my veterans benefits)

this is the government founded pharmacy. normally attached to public clinic/hospital. the meds sold there are basic generic versions made locally. no need to have insurance, residency or prescription. unfortunately it seems they only have the strength as listed by celt.

The cheapest farmacia I have found, which is also 24 hours is on the main road in Charamicos about 5 businesses past Caribe Tours, headin to Puerto Plata. Same drugs at a fraction of the cost of other more glitzty farmacias.

Paid 865 for 30 112mcg tablets. Abbot Labs brand Synthroid manufactured by Knoll LLC Jayuya Puerto Rico.
Seems clinic mentioned is about a 7 minute walk from Caribe Tours.
May try going there or send from states.

Is the Charamicos Pharmacy the one with the long space, narrow depth and only a few years old?
