at a glance

over the counter medications are accessible in a variety of pharmacies in the city - easy to spot pharmacy names include pacheco, droga raia, drogasmil, and city farma - familiar brand names from home countries are likely unavailable in Brazil so it is important to research generic drug names, before looking to make purchases at the pharmacy.

visitors should always carry basic stomach, cold, and pain medications in case they are needed - this is strandard practise for travelling abroad since unexpected illnesses and discomforts can ruin precious vacation time.

individuals who have regular presciption drugs should make sure they have enough medication to last throughout their trip - since medication can get lost it is always a good idea to keep extra pills in seperate locations - anyone who regularly takes prescription medication needs to have a copy of their prescription plus a list of each medication in its generic form - users should be educated on the purpose of each and every medication.  arrow-back      arrow-forward
