Farmacia San Rafael is located in the Texaco area.
Prices at San Rafael are higher than at Farmacia Sosua, on the main street next to "little" Playero, and the farmacias in Charamicos. Yesterday, for example, because Farmacia Sosua was closed for inventory, I went to San Rafael to get Nasonex, a nasal spray, for my wife (even though I know prices are too high). When told the price was RD$2000+, I said that is a lot more than we pay at Farmacia Sosua. The clerk denied this, but I said no thanks. I then called to one of the farmacias in Charamicos and then delivered it by motorcycle. The price was RD$1,860 plus RD$20 for the motorcycle, a saving s of close to RD$200.
Had a similar experience with Zyrtec recently. San Rafael was asking RD600+ for what cost me RD$400+ elsewhere.
I could give other examples.
Sometime ago their prices were way out of line and it turned out the employees were pocketing the extra money. New employees were hired and prices now on a computer. They show you the screen so you can see the price yourself.
Too bad, Sosua can use two good farmacias. But, fortunately, the farmacias in Charamicos will deliver when Farmacia Sosua doesn't have what you need.
