A friend of mine has to take warfarin 10mg a day. If she does not take it she will have a blood clot. She has bought it here for the last 5 years with no problems at all, under the name cumadin. Over the past few weeks it has become more and more difficult to obtain and now there is none in the whole of Juan Dolio, San Pedro de Macoris nor surrounding towns.
She only has enough for 10 days now. If any of you are going to a pharmacy over the next few days please see if they have any, and how many they have so we can get some. They are 12 RD$ a 5mg tablet usually. If necessary she can send the money - if is is too far to travel to pick it up.
Please help if you can, or if there is a medical person reading this and you know of an alternative then please let me know. We have tried for Heparin also but there is none of that either.
Thanks
Matilda
