What do they have at the pharmacies in Peru


What do they have at the pharmacies in Peru?
Hello folks, I am going to peru to stay a while and I'd like to know what they have there to treat insomnia. Here in Canada I been taking a pill composed of 5 grams Oxycodone and 325 grams Acetaminophen and it works really well to get me to sleep every night. Does anyone know if this is available in Peru? Or what else is available in Peru that is similar? Thanks

I don't know if in Perù there's this medicine, but in almost every pharmacie you can find a doctor to help you, and there are almost the same medicine you can find in Usa, but sorry, you can't carry with you this composed?

write down the name of those and just tell them that you are looking for that or something similar. Im peruvian born and raise there. and I think they must have it, if not at least an equivalent.

Pharmacies in Lima are well supplied, I am sure you will find what you are looking for. You may be asked for a receipt, but in most pharmacies it is not mandatory. Notice that most medicines are available with the original name and with a different name (the same medicine but cheaper, they are called "genéricos"). "Inkafarma", "BTL" or "Fasa" pharmacies are available everywhere in Lima. Good luck!

Certainly you'll find that medicine in Peru, it doesn't come with acetaminophen, the brand names are oxycontin, oxyrapid, oxydonna, it comes in 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg. the other truth is that you won't be able to buy it without a prescription because as being oxycodone a narcotic, it is of restricted sale, it means you have to present a special kind of prescription (not a common one), they will retain the prescription and will enter you in a database of patients requiring narcotics. Not the best idea to use a narcotic as a sleep pill. Try some relaxing infusion as wawasana relajante or maybe counting sheeps will help.

There are so many things in peruvian pharmacies for you to sleep. And you dont need a presciption so just go to Fasa and order something. And why dont you bring your pills from Canada? Are they illegal?
