"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Santo Domingo. The city has numerous pharmacies, known as "farmacias," where you can find a wide range of medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, and medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Some medications may be available over the counter, while others may require a prescription from a local doctor. It is essential to carry your prescription and a copy of your medical records when visiting a pharmacy. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before purchasing any medication to ensure its safety and effectiveness," explained one expat living in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.
