Hi, folks,
Quick (and maybe too specific) question. Anybody know if Lantus (insulin glargina?) is available in Punta Cana? And at what cost? (oops, that's 2 questions). A practising diabetic needs to know. Thanks muchly.

If not then getting it shipped in should not be a problem.

Thanks, you two, for trying. Just wish my Spanish wasn't pretty much non-existent.  Farmax couldn't get an English speaker on the line. Shipping's an issue cuz it has to be refrigerated.
Best,
John
