Are common prescription medications available in Caracas?
When we asked expats in Caracas if common prescription medications are available in Caracas, they wrote...
"Common prescription medications may be available in Caracas, but their availability can be limited due to the ongoing economic crisis and shortages in the country. Pharmacies in Caracas may have some medications in stock, but it is not uncommon for people to face difficulties in finding specific drugs or encounter long waiting times to obtain them. Additionally, the high cost of medications can make them unaffordable for many Venezuelans. It is advisable for visitors to bring their necessary prescription medications with them when traveling to Caracas, as they may not be easily accessible or affordable in the city," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Caracas, Venezuela.
