Are common prescription medications available in Mendoza?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Mendoza if common prescription medications are available in Mendoza, they wrote...

"Yes including many over the counter that are not available without a prescription in the USA, e.g. penicillin. I would say the Argentine prescriptions are about the same in price," wrote a member who made the move to Mendoza, Argentina.

"Common Rx may not be available all the time. The government restricts imports severely, and there are times when certain prescriptions are simply not in the pharmacies. This has happened repeatedly and affects, for example, heart and cancer medications. Cost is about the same as in the U.S. I know an Argentine cancer patient who at one point had to go all over town to numerous pharmacies in search of a medication and could not get it for weeks," explained one expat living in Mendoza, Argentina.
