Prednisone is a prescription-only medication in Costa Rica. You cannot buy it over the counter.
To obtain Prednisone, you need a valid prescription from a licensed Costa Rican doctor. This prescription must be in Spanish and include the correct dosage and instructions for use.
Pharmacies in Costa Rica (farmacias) will require you to present this prescription before dispensing the medication. Many pharmacies are located throughout cities and towns.
Be prepared to show your passport or other form of identification alongside your prescription. Some pharmacies may request additional documentation.
Importing Prednisone without a prescription is illegal and can result in penalties. Always comply with Costa Rican regulations regarding medication.
If you have questions about your prescription or need to locate a pharmacy, consult your doctor or a local pharmacist. They can provide specific guidance and assistance.
