Hello, it will be some considerable time before I return to Uruguay.
I have run out of the medicine prescribed by my doctor at Asociacion Espanola. I have had it prescribed here again in Europe but the price here is just astronomical! In Uruguay actually it requires no prescription and is available otc at all the pharmacies. Question please: Any ideas of how to get this sent to me directly from Uruguay? If there is anyone who can facilitate this for me, I am willing to pay a fee. Can a pharmacy be found in Montevideo which would be willing to put the pills in an envelope and call for a DHL pick-up? I would pay them by electronic transfer. Thanks- Roslin

If there is anyone who can do something like that is Tienda Inglesa that has its own pharmacy but I don't know if sending it by DHL is going to be so expensive that you are better off buying directly where you current live.聽 Don't you have any relative who can take the package to the post office?聽 That's what I do.聽 I buy a medication I cannot find here in Miami through Tienda Inglesa and I pay on line with my credit card, very secure transaction; then they deliver the medication to my mother's house, she puts it in an envelop and then goes to the post office.聽 I don't think any pharmacy is going to send you medication because when you take the envelop to the post office you need to say what' inside.
