Hello and welcome !

I would suggest that you post this question on the other forums as well. You can choose the countries from this list : /forum/

Since here, we are on the Costa Rica forum, only members living in Costa Rica or wanting to live here, will read your post.

All the best

you would have to check with every individual country. There is a way to find out but not from us. I was able to find out what was legal in Costa Rica by writing to a compounding pharmacy I found online. One of my medications is not available in Costa Rica because the government has a very specific formulary that they follow, and that's a huge problem for me. You would have to find out from people who are knowledgeable by researching every single country individually. It seems unlikely that you can't get it -- my medication is more exotic -- but you might have to settle for a different brand than you are used to. Mostly generics are what are offered in these countries with national health anyway, but they may not be the generics you are used to taking. I would think just emailing a pharmacy in every country would give you the answer.

The national health care system in Costa Rica, the "CAJA", has its own formulary of medications which it provides. Those meds are almost entirely generics. There are, however, private sector farmacias which may have other meds, including the one(s) you're looking for. Those, of course, will be "at cost". Some are less expensive than in the U.S.; others may be more expensive.
