You don?t need a prescription.
In every city there are tons of farmacia?s, from early morning til late.
At least one 24/7.
They also do delivery.

Many drugs that require a prescription in the US can be bought over the counter in the DR. I don't believe you can buy barbiturates over the counter.

Antobiotics, Antifungals, Lidpid Lowering agents, blood pressure meds and more that typically require a RX in the States are over the counter here.

Things like pain killers, valium etc. require a RX.
