Zolpidem is the Argentinian generic for Ambien
[QUOTE=Gagoo;448057]Those have been hard to find, or decent sleeping pills. I tried many countries and ask for Ambien. Some places like Colombia will sell Zoplicona. It is slower to work, but puts me to sleep a solid 8 hours. I haven't been to Chile or Bolivia yet, but for South American pharmacies, the loosest ones are in Peru. I went to one pharmacy in Lima and asked and no problem, I just bought a box of ten. I went accross the street and asked another pharmacy, and I bought 2 boxes of a different brand. All good stuff. I tried many places in Colombia and they won't sell it without a prescription. And only certain pharmacies are even allowed to have the highly controlled stuff. But I found one guy in Bogota, he has a big box of meds hidden away, and he sells Ambien. I also found one place in Trinidad, they had an original bottle of 100 and sell you just 1 pill at a time, but I think it was about $3 US a pill. Another place is in Cabo San Lucas, those pharmacies in the harbor will sell A-Z. For the hard core stuff they will charge a US street price. I bought 10 generic Ambien there, made in India. But they were good. Seems like what they did is import meds from India, then they sell them off the books. I tried a pharmacy in Nicaragua, they don't give a damn what you want to buy, if they have it, they will sell it. But the ones I went to didn't have Ambien. I bought a half dozen boxes of meds to try them out and the price was still very cheap.[/QUOTE]There is a buying prescription drugs thread under Living in Argentina.

I haven't been there in awhile so things might have changed.
