Buying prescription drugs in Argentina

[El Perro]

Does anybody know where to find some TUMS, or the equivalent? So far, all I've seen are small packages of Myalanta (sp) I'm looking for the over the counter bottle we can pick up anywhere in the states. My bottle didn't quite make it a year. Muchas gracias.

Thank you all for this fine info. I shall put it to good use and provide a status report.

The Generic Name for Cialis is Tadalafil. As far as I know, there is no generic as of yet, and just about all the pharmacists recongnize it by Cialis name.

As for the price, a box of 4 tablets (20 mg each) costs about AR$120, after all the discounts. If anyone knows a cheaper place please let me know.

I find it particularly useful for the 4th and 5th shags of the day. For most people, half a tablet (10mg) is enough.

A box of four tablets (20 mg each) will cost about AR$92 at the pharmacy that is located on calle Paraguay (Paraguay and Florida) Just tell the pharmacist what you want and that you will be paying cash and you would like the 25% discount.

Check out the "Buying Viagra" thread under "Travel Information". Seems to be in a strange place, but I guess it's a case of have gun will travel. Badda bing.

You do not legally need a prescription for Cialis. You do not need to know the generic name. I have never seen Levitra here. Viagra technically requires a prescription but most smaller places will sell it without one. PharmaCity will not sell it without a prescription. I think there is a separate thread on this. Go to Farmacia Azul on Córdoba betwen Florida and San Martín on the north side of the street.

You cannot get any painkillers without a prescription. The ones you are asking about are narcotics. Heroin, oxycontin, vicodin, percocet etc. Etc. Are ALL opiates. Take a couple of aspirin.

This, plus one other posting, is as much as I could find in the archives on this subject.

Can any of you vets in AR (be. A. Especially) tell me if it is possible to purchase cialis and viagra (etc. -- or their generic versions -- in AR w / o a prescription? As of the time of this quote (some time back) there is mention by several Board members that small independent pharmacies might supply the generic V. When I was there earlier this year I had a small supply with me and didn't need to go searching.

My preference is for cialis, and while I can bring some down with me when I journey south next month, I'd prefer to buy there if available and the price is competitive. Any advice -- and the generic name for the cialis equivalent (if available) would be appreciated. Available in larger cities outside B. A. as well?

Thanks!

Ampfofu,

"legally" may be the wrong expression. The packages sold in Argentina also have the note on them that they are only to be sold under a prescription. I don't know, how throughout this is enforced - apparently not enough to keep a lot of pharmacists from selling prescription drugs over the counter.

Your chances are good if you go to a small, independent pharmacy (not one of the chains like FarmaCity) and just ask. If you don't know an Argentinean brand name, ask for the generic name of the active ingredient, I. E. Sildenafil instead of Viagra.

And, be sure you know what you are doing.

Hope that helps,

OK, It seems like their is no one talking about this. What little I hear is about different men legally getting generic forms of viagra from pharmacies in BS without a doctors prescription.

My question is simple. Can you get vicoden or percocet the same way. What do you do to get it. What do you ask for, and does anyone know the costs. Thanks.
