    Some one will sell it to you if they have it. The worst that can happen is some one says NO!

    Great advice

    A lot of drugs, script drugs are readily available in certain pharmacies all over town. Some require a script and some don't.

    Test gel is no problem.

    Thyroid meds should not be a problem.

    Statin Meds. No problem.

    Generics are super cheap.

    Farma City, a huge Pharmacy Chain is not the best place for most things because they require scripts for some of your meds.

    Feel free to PM me for any other Special needs.

    BA is a beautiful city, the Paris of the South but try to do your research before you arrive to make your stay a safer and more economical adventure.

    Spanish helps a lot to reduce your expenditures and enhance your pleasure.

    There are a lot of tiny and easy to bring items that will pay for your flight, Chicas and even your apartment rental; specially now that Christina has imposed such harsh import duties and extreme measures to curb Foreign trade and capital flight.

    This board has a wealth of information if you take the time to study the threads.

    Spanish Teachers -.

    Lodging Tips -.

    Rest-Bar Guides -.

    And everything else under the sheets!

    Thanks,

    TL.
    Thanks TL for all the good advice. I will be doing all my research over the next 6 months. I do want to make sure my adventure is without drama. I'm looking forward many Malbec enhanced nights.

    I don't need the Thyroid one, but I do need the other two. So, you should be good to go.

    You most likely will not need a prescription, but bring one or an old one to show in case.

    Don't go to the Pharmacia chain.
    Thanks for the info. I'll stay away from Pharmacia. Sounds like I won't have any isssues.

    Avenida Cordoba

    Try the Farmacia Cordoba 876, the one across the street from the Bar Castelar at Suipacha, or Farmacia Azul, the one across the street from the Galleria Pacifico, near Cafe Orleans, in part of the old Harrods building.

    You must have asked for some meds that are over the counter in this country because they won't bend the rules for anybody.

    As for the other pharmacies you just have to keep asking until you find one that will give you what you want.

    The easy stuff is the Viagra and Test, ect. Etc.

    The Benzos are a lot harder to find.

    Unless you.

    Forget it.

    Mongers-.

    This is not the case anymore; Farmacity will actually sell you any drug that does not have a reasonable expectation of being abused. They will sell you any antibiotic with no questions asked whatsoever. I'm not sure about "performance enhancers" as I'm too young for those still. One thing to note, if you have health insurance here you will not be able to take advantage of the 40% discount on pharmaceuticals if you buy them without a prescription.

    Suerte.

    Amazing!

    The pharmacy I went to is on the north side of Santa Fe around the 2000 block, give or take a couple of cross streets. But I think any Farmacity branch in the city could have refilled my prescription.

    There's one on the corner of Tacuarķ and Moreno in Microcentro where I've just walked in and bought both Tramadol and Cialis as if they were M&Ms.
