What medicines can you buy? Do you have to have a prescription? Will the drug store give you cortazone injections? Any info will help. Thanks |

Depends on the drug store. I've bought a number of things without a prescription, but i've had some stores require a prescription for things like antibiotics. All you can do is ask and see if they'll give it to you. I don't know about cortazone, but I did go to a dermatologist at Hospital Cima and had cortazone injections for psoriasis for a total of $35 |

Also, be aware that some drugs go by a different name than in the US. For instance, most places you ask for Vicadin they will look at you funny. Also drugs like Meridia go by a different name here as well. |

I don't know about cortazone, I have old war injury and it is injected into joints for arthritis, so I can move without pain. Thanks |
