Hi there
You will find pretty much all the medication you need and if a prescription is required you can get one easely.
If you need to consult a specialist locally I would recommend the following clinics..

Centro Medico in Zona 10 they speak English

and as well multimedica zona 15

So far I'm not aware of any limit on how much you can pick up.. and you might encounter that they don 't have enough of what you want..
Prices are expensive comparing to other Central American Country.
You could as well contract an insurance that would covers your medicine..
check the list of international insurance company that works with centro medico for example..

Now if your medicine is too specialized you might not find it here..
What do you need maybe I can check for you..or look at this web siteand put the name of your drug..
