Just in case I get stopped at airport customs, can I bring in without prescription? I don't buy through prescriptions. Or should I just buy them there at a pharmacy? Thanks.

Have never heard of CR customs stopping anyone for bringing pharmaceuticals. They xray your luggage looking for organic products and commercial quantities of electronics, appliances, etc.

I always bring 3 bags with me...two suitcases and one backpack. Put the backpack with an apple into the x-ray machine first. They go nuts and yell "Fruita Fruita" everyone goes for the backpack and the next two bags go through without even a look. YMMV.

Why chance it? V is cheap and readily available here, why bring it with you from the US?

I did the same thing, brought down three playstations and 4 ipods and then just put 4 apples in the first bag.....Fruita Fruita exactly what you were saying they were so excited by that they ignored the other bags.

Viagra is not narcotic so if less than 10 viagras the Most they will do is just confiscate them and use them for their wives or MPs or donkeys.
But just get a prescription from your doctor at your annual, or a CR doctor always better to be legal with something that simple, less stress for your vacation. The prescription for Viagra is really their for your safety if you have heart problems or other side effects and interactions that could give you a heart attack etc, the scrip is for safety only not to curb any addictions or whatnot

There are so many things that I just don't know anything about in Costa Rica :D :shock: :lol:

I am waiting for the new thread on customs agents, confiscated pharmaceuticals and donkey shows. In the meantime I'm going to watch Bachelor Party and Clerks 2 again...

Doesn't hurt to throw a big dildo in the backpack also. Really grabs them. :twisted:
